Welcome to a brand new episode, this week- Can Dogs Have Nightmares?Dogs twitch, whimper, bark, paddle their legs and sometimes suddenly wake terrified.Are they dreaming? Can they have nightmares? Should you wake them? What happens in a dog's brain during sleep?Why Does My Dog Smell Different Sometimes?Not simply "why does my dog stink?"Why can a dog's smell change after rain, swimming, exercise, stress or illness? And this is a delicate one- Why Do Dogs Follow Us to the Toilet?Yes, it's funny — but there's actually a serious behavioural question underneath it. Why do some dogs follow their owners everywhere?Are they being protective? Social? Anxious? Curious? Is it breed-dependent?And when does following you everywhere become separation anxiety? Also Can Dogs Recognise Themselves?The famous mirror test is fascinating, but dogs don't necessarily experience the world visually in the same way humans do.What does self-awareness actually mean for a dog?Do they recognise their reflection? Their own smell? Their own body?Plus much more... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's actually happening to a dog's paws on hot pavement?And Can Dogs Tell When We're Lying? Dogs are extraordinarily good at reading humans — but can they detect deception?
