EP 210 — Sasha Armstrong: The Dog Shaman

How you communicate with your pet on a daily basis often says a lot about how evolved you are as a human being. Pets have their own ways of communicating their needs, if their human companions are really paying attention.

Learn why the alpha hierarchy is so important in any relationship with your pet and how dogs really communicate with their human companions from canine behaviorist Sasha Armstrong in this Living 4D conversation. (Don’t miss Paul’s electrifying experience with a shock collar!)

Check out Sasha’s work on her Canine State of Mind website and on social media via Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
