If at any time you think the dog wants to be in charge, we in Canine Flow, say that's because the dog HAS a charge.
I’ve got a question for you. Have you tried “all the things” when it comes to dealing with your dog’s reactive behaviours, but you’re still struggling and feeling at your wit’s end? Or, do you just know that there’s a deeper way to connect with your dog, and you’re curious about how to make that happen?
Then you are definitely going to love today’s episode! I spoke with Caroline Griffith, an author, speaker, lecturer, qualified nutritional therapist, and founder of Canine Flow, who has been working in the pet industry for more than 28 years. She is phenomenal, and I am proud to call her my own teacher, mentor, and friend.
Caroline’s take on all things dogs is so refreshing, because she brings the heart back into focus- both your dog’s, and your own.
Canine Flow is more than just a modality to work on your dog’s behaviour. It is a way of being with your dog that invites you to understand your dog - and, again, yourself - from an energetic and emotional space. This isn’t “woo”, there is science behind the assertion that the heart is an electromagnetic organ that drives the way we experience and engage with the world around us.
As Caroline talks about in this episode, she feels that the missing part of the equation when it comes to dogs, and what happens to be their lesson for us as humans, is to unite the mind and the heart in coherence. When we support our dogs in grounding their emotional charge, they become calm and happy, and the very behaviours we have been trying to change, start to be a non-factor.
We talk about what Canine Flow is and what it isn’t, how it complements traditional positive reinforcement techniques, as well as how our dogs are inviting us to step into our own heart space. Caroline also shares her experience of connecting to the canine consciousness that she refers to as the sacred canine heart, and she graciously does a reading for all of us with her sacred canine oracle deck.
I also share some of my personal experiences as a student of Caroline’s Canine Flow course that she will be offering again in March, so you can hear my take on it and how it has supported Lucky and me. Stick with me until the outro, because I will also share with you 3 tips on how you can apply aspects of Canine Flow with your dog today.
This episode is supported by Aspirationery, which, in full transparency, is another project of mine where we create books, notebooks, and stationery to help you become all you aspire to be.

Ok, grab a cup of tea, or your leash, and let’s go!
