Hi, we’re Maya and Leo
We’re a dog-mad couple who believe most “behaviour problems” are really just dogs trying to tell us something. Cattledogbuch is where we share what we’ve learned, in plain, friendly English, to help you and your dog understand each other a little better.
How Cattledogbuch started
Like a lot of dog owners, we learned the hard way. We didn’t need fancy training drills, we needed to understand what our dog was actually saying. The lip-licks, the yawns, the pacing by the door. Once it clicked, everything got calmer.
So we started Cattledogbuch (and our little podcast) to pass that on. No jargon, no judgement, just simple, gentle ideas that make everyday life with a dog happier for both of you.
What we’re about
Understanding over orders
We care more about why your dog does something than about teaching tricks. Understanding comes first.
Calm, never harsh
Everything we share is gentle and reward-based. No shouting, no scaring, that’s not us.
Plain English, always
We translate the clever stuff into simple steps you can actually use on a normal Tuesday.
A little honesty
We’re not vets, and we’re not professional trainers with letters after our names. We’re just two people who are a bit obsessed with dogs and love sharing what’s helped us and others. So think of us as friends with strong opinions about dogs, not a clinic. For anything medical, or if your dog is truly struggling, please always see your vet first.
Listen along
When we’re not writing, you’ll find us chatting on The Dog Psychology Podcast, easy, warm conversations about what’s really going on in our dogs’ heads.
