From energetic impressions to emotional insights, Maribeth shares how she supports guardians through behavioral challenges, end‑of‑life transitions, and the deep bonds we form with our animal companions. 

Maribeth Coye Decker is an intuitive animal communicator, energy healer, and retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander.

Maribeth is the author of Peace in Passing: Comfort for Loving Humans During Animal Transitions, and she offers courses, consultations, and resources through her practice, Sacred Grove. Her work focuses on strengthening the bond between humans and the animals they love, including those who have passed on.

From genetics to environment, we unpack the science behind your dog’s actions and what it means to live compassionately with them. Plus, a follow-up conversation with Kim and Kate [https://rescuedbytraining.com/]dives deeper into the ethics of behavior change and the language we use to describe our canine companions. 

Guest Bio: Kim Brophey, CDBC, CPDT-KA, LFDM, is an applied ethologist and award-winning behavior consultant with over 25 years of experience working with dogs and their families. She’s the creator of the L.E.G.S.® model of integrated canine science and founder of Family Dog Mediation® [https://kimbropheylegscourses.thinkific.com/pages/pro-landing-page], a groundbreaking approach that reframes behavior through the lens of learning, environment, genetics, and self. Kim’s work has earned international recognition, including the APDT Outstanding Trainer of the Year award and eight consecutive Best Dog Trainer of WNC honors.

Her book Meet Your Dog, TED talk, and global speaking engagements have helped shift public and professional conversations about dog behavior. Through the Family Dog Mediation Education Center and her L.E.G.S.® Applied Ethology course, Kim leads a growing international movement to redefine how we understand and live with dogs.

Humans interact with animals every day of our lives. Even those without pets
interact with animals in various ways: diet, wildlife, the clothes they wear.
Even most medicines use animals in testing or in the medicine itself. This is a
podcast about Anthrozoology: the study of interaction between humans and
non-human animals. My hope is to help in research accessibility to listeners
