Ever wished you could read your dog’s mind?
Maybe you’ve watched your dog do something totally bizarre—like zooming around the house after a bath, staring at you while they poop, or barking at seemingly nothing—and thought, What’s going on in that head of yours?
You’re not alone. For centuries, humans have been trying to decode what dogs think, feel, and why they do the things they do. The good news? Science is catching up. Researchers are constantly uncovering new insights into canine cognition, emotions, and behavior—things that can actually help us understand our dogs better and improve their lives.
That’s why I created Golden Standard Decoded—a space where science meets real-world dog ownership. Whether it’s the latest research on how dogs form memories, what their body language really means, or why some training methods work better than others, I’ll be breaking it all down into bite-sized, easy-to-understand insights.
No dense jargon, no complicated studies—just fascinating, practical science that helps you see your dog in a whole new way. Because understanding them better doesn’t just make life easier—it strengthens the bond we share with our dogs.
