This week on Resident Wild, Kim and Neri are joined by comedian and all-round legend Bradford Oakes, co-host of the podcast Fool Me Twice with Steven Van Aperen, where they explore deception, psychology and the fascinating ways humans can be fooled.Bradford brings a brilliant question to the table: Do dogs lie?What follows is one of the most entertaining conversations we've had, filled with laughs, unexpected tangents and some thought-provoking discussion about whether dogs are truly capable of deception—or whether we're simply interpreting their behaviour through a human lens.In Advice Given Online, Kim and Neri unpack the growing trend of "teaching calm" and explain why genuine calmness isn't something that can simply be trained on cue. From a psychological perspective, true emotional regulation develops through safety, relationship and co-regulation—not by asking a dog to remain still.Then, in Debunk a Myth, they tackle another common misconception: Does a dog pee inside to get back at its owner? They explore why this belief has persisted for so long and what house-soiling behaviour is far more likely to be communicating.A fun, thought-provoking episode that blends wolves, dogs, people, psychology, comedy and a whole lot of curiosity about the dogs we share our lives with.🐾 Because the more we understand our dogs, the better we can understand the behaviour they show us.listener question 4:08Advice given on line 28:15Debunk a myth 35:40
