The Dog Witch
In this episode of the Canine Culture Podcast, host Brittany sits down with Lisa McCabe to explore a holistic approach to dog health and behavior that goes far beyond the basics.
Lisa shares her journey from dog walker to canine wellness advocate, inspired by working with rescue dogs who needed more than traditional training. She introduces her ACHNB framework—six essential pillars of dog well-being: sleep, exercise, nutrition, environment, health, and behavior—and explains how these elements are deeply interconnected. When one falls out of balance, it can impact everything from your dog’s mood to their physical health.
You’ll learn:
Why sleep is one of the most overlooked factors in dog behavior
How environmental factors like cleaners, candles, and scents can affect your dog
The importance of mental stimulation alongside physical exercise
Simple, practical ways to improve your dog’s daily life—starting today
How nutrition and natural practices can support long-term health
The power of massage, routine, and safe spaces for reducing anxiety
Lisa also shares actionable tips for identifying signs of imbalance—like anxiety, reactivity, or changes in behavior—and how to address them naturally without overwhelm.
Whether you’re dealing with a reactive dog, a high-energy pup, or just want to give your dog the best possible life, this episode is packed with practical tools and eye-opening insights.
Tune in to learn how small, intentional changes can create a calmer, healthier, and more balanced life for your dog.
