Does reading to your dog enhance your confidence? A little girl from the StoryDogs program reads to a basset hound called Katie and explains why dogs display such great empathy. Qualified Dog Behaviourist Laura Vissaritis speaks with Hilary Paull, a StoryDogs co-ordinator, and learns the story behind the program and how the cognitive conditioning of children can be developed through the empathetic relationship between us and our dogs.  StoryDogs: https://www.storydogs.org.au/  Laura V’s Instagram: @lauravlovesdogs Laura V: www.laurav.com.au  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
