Ted Kerasote is the bestselling author of Merle's Door: Lessons From a Free Thinking Dog and Pukka's Promise: The Quest for Longer Lived Dogs — books that changed how thousands of people think about their dogs.
I so loved this dialogue with Ted, he brings a very thoughtful message on what it truly means to live in partnership alongside a dog.
We explore:
- how a stray dog chose Ted on a desert river trip, and why that choice changed the entire course of his life
- what it really means to "trust" a dog with freedom
- how our conversations with our dogs can be deeply meaningful and thoughtful exchanges
- the little-known alternatives that prevent pregnancy while preserving hormonal health
- the multitude of health risks linked to traditional spay/neuter
- how hormone replacement can help dogs who've already been desexed regain optimal health
- key ways to support your dog's long-term vitality and well-being
Join us for a warm, wide-ranging conversation about what our dogs are capable of, and what they can teach us, when we give them more freedom and agency in their lives.
