About our guest:

Alexis Devine is an artist and entrepreneur hailing from Seattle, Washington. A longtime creator of wearable art before her sheepadoodle Bunny, known as "What About Bunny" on social media became an internet sensation in the fall of 2020. Videos of her communicating with assistive technology from FluentPet went viral. Bunny now has over one hundred buttons individually programmed with various words that she uses to communicate needs, wants, and even express when she is in pain. She is part of an ongoing canine cognition research study at the Comparative Cognition Lab at UCSD.

These days Alexis is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Licensed Family Dog Mediator, and a Fear Free Certified professional. Her goal is to further our understanding of the power of connection and importance of empathy, meeting her dogs where they are and understanding them on their terms to facilitate trust and promote an environment that supports them as the incredible creatures they are.

In this episode Kassie and I discuss what dog pros are really saying when they tell you to stop walking your dog! We dive into why walks might be doing more harm than good to your dog (even if they aren't reactive). We also give you some alternatives of things that you can do with your dogs to help me their biological needs. Please let us know what you think about this episode by leaving us a review!
