‘The Best Gift That You Can Give Your Dog is Time’ with Jonas Thulin Pt 2

Our 'A Dog's Pace' podcast is recorded every month and includes member interviews, special guests and other SLOW focused stories and content. The entire podcast is available on our⁠⁠ PATREON⁠⁠ page at the AMBASSADOG level, and as a portion on ⁠SPOTIFY⁠ and ⁠APPLE PODCASTS⁠. for your friends and family. Almost all of our podcasts ARE available in full, so ask your dog loving friends to start listening!

I had planned to catch up with our past co-director and friend, Jonas Thulin, for our July podcast, but we spoke for four hours (I only managed to record half of our conversation) so I will be sharing our chat over July and August. This is the August portion. Sorry, there is no introduction at the beginning, we just launch right in where we left off. This particular episode may include sensitive information that is upsetting to people who support Spanish rescue agencies or adopt Spanish dogs themselves. 

Jonas has his own podcast in Spain called ‘Pongamos Que Hablo de Perros’ or in English ‘Let’s Say I’m Talking About Dogs’: ⁠https://pongamosquehablodeperros.info/⁠ You can also find him here: ⁠http://jonasthulin.com/en/⁠

‘The best gift that you can give your dog is time’ is a ⁠Santos Salcines Nazabal⁠ quote. Santos was also our past co-director. Santos and Jonas are good friends and colleagues and have their own podcast in Spanish, called ‘Los Primos,’ in English ‘The Cousins’ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@losprimos-santosyjonas5703⁠ .

Jonas and Santos are also the founders of an ethical dog professional organisation in Spain called ⁠ANPECEC⁠.

Please check out Marc Bekoff’s article in Psychology Today entitled ‘⁠All Dogs are Saying, Is Give Pees a Chance⁠,’ about Jonas’ initiative of the same name.

Jonas also mentioned: 

⁠The Huberman Lab Podcast⁠ and

The author, Robert Sapolsky, and his book ‘⁠Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers⁠.’

If you would like to join me on the podcast and share your SLOW DOG MOVEMENT story, please get ⁠in touch⁠. I would love to host you.
