BEFORE you start: Advance to 38:17 of the podcast and begin listening there because the music sets the ambience so beautifully for the entire episode. And then BACK to the beginning as I didn't want my yammering and stammering to detract from the truly unique and magical music of our guest this week, Lisa Spector.
A concert pianist from a very early age and graduate of Julliard, Lisa has transformed and translated classic music to that of a calming and therapeutic experience for our canine companions (alas it does not seem to have the same effect on cats).
I know this from personal experience when I played Lisa's music for Murphy as he was dying from cancer. Trail magic connected us again during Walk 2 - the west coast walk when I was very fortunate to spend time with her in Half Moon Bay, CA and it was there, she seranaded Indiana and me. And with memories of Murphy, it was such a magical experience that Lisa and I reflect on in this episode.
And as in each episode, Yer Big Dog slogs through the science but Lisa teaches me on how dogs hear differently than humans and why that's so important to a dog's well, sanity. Ambient sounds and noises in your household matter.
The science is sound on this although in a different trial setting. Lisa Spector's music calms canines in over 1,500 shelters worldwide and we discuss her successes and new ventures. My Zen Pet is the place you can find her podcast by the same name and her music under the label - Dog Gone Calm, which can be listened to on podcast platforms everywhere.
Thank you, Lisa, for being a true friend of the fuzzybutts!
