What do I write about?

In addition to training dogs, I’m also an anthrozoologist. My blog is where I go to work through the knots of togetherness that we humans share with dogs.

All over the world, humans have extraordinarily different relationships with dogs — and the stories we tell about them shape everything. They determine whether a dog sleeps in our bed or lives on a chain. Whether a stray is fed or kicked. Whether an animal is a companion, a tool, or something in between.

I spend a lot of time inside those stories.

My writings are about dogs and humans and the wild, complicated, ancient relationship between us. We’ll go deep into mythology and history. We’ll go hiking and traveling. We’ll spend time lying in the grass. I’ll ask upside-down questions about things we take for granted, and I’ll keep tinkering with the narratives we’ve inherited — because I think some of them are worth keeping, and some of them desperately need to change.

I invite you to join me.

With Love,

Amanda G
