This week on Messie Minds, we’re joined by the brilliant and big-hearted Rose Bao — an animal behaviourist who works closely with dogs and their humans to decode what’s really going on beneath the tail wags and tantrums.
PSA: She’s not a dog trainer. And no, she’s definitely not a “dog whisperer.” Rose is all about the science, psychology, and emotional intelligence behind your pet’s behaviour — helping you understand the why, not just the how.
We get into:
🐶 What an animal behaviourist actually does (and why it matters)
🧠 The subtle ways dogs are always trying to communicate
💔 Why we often misread or ignore their signals
🫱 And how building a strong bond means meeting your pet halfway — not just expecting them to fit into your world
This episode will make you laugh, reflect, and possibly text your dog an apology. If you’ve ever said “he’s just dramatic” while your pup is actually panicking, this one’s for you.
