GMB presenter launches dog behaviour podcast
So far this year, Dogs Trust has seen 9,000 handovers of dogs linked to unwanted behaviours.
The TV star is joined by Dogs Trust behaviour expert.
 
A new dog behaviour podcast hosted by Good Morning Britain presenter and Dogs Trust ambassador Charlotte Hawkins has been launched.

Called Leaps and Hounds, the podcast features Kris Glover, Dogs Trust’s head of clinical behaviour services, who provides behaviour advice on topics such as barking, stealing items, and poor recall.

Each 10-minute episode also stars a different rescue dog in the charity’s care to help demonstrate the skills for dealing with different behaviour issues.

Unwanted behaviours are one of the main reasons that people give for rehoming their dog. This year, Dogs Trust has already seen 9,000 handovers from owners who say that their dog is behaving in unwanted ways.

The charity’s free Behaviour Support Line, which receives 670 calls per month on average, has seen demand for its services increase. Dogs Trust predicts that it will have seen a 40 per cent increase in calls by the end of 2024 compared to the previous year.

Ms Hawkins said: “It’s been an honour to work with Dogs Trust on Leaps and Hounds to understand more about dog behaviour and how best to train them.

“It’s so sad that record numbers of dogs are being given up, and it’s often due to behaviour issues. With just a few tips people can learn the reasons behind the way a dog reacts, whether it’s problems with aggression, poor recall or barking, which can help people tackle the issue.

“We hope this podcast will help people get the very best out of their dog!”
