Summary
Debbie talks to Anna Balch, a Newbury-based dog training and behaviour specialist, about the often-overlooked link between physical pain and dog behaviour. Together they explore how subtle, chronic discomfort can show up as reactivity, lead pulling, car anxiety, sound sensitivity, and resistance to touch, and why these signs are so easy to miss. Anna shares practical, accessible advice on what owners can do, from simple home adjustments to working with a wider team of canine health professionals, and explains why addressing physical wellbeing is just as important as training when it comes to helping a dog truly thrive.
