If it’s not working out, what are your options? - with Gia Savocchi

It's Training Cats and Dogs!

In some cases, you can be doing ALL the right things to help your pets coexist, but everyone is still stressed and unable to live together peacefully.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of pressure on well-meaning pet parents who are struggling. And that really sucks.

In my chat with fellow pet professional Gia Savocchi, we talk about:

• how external pressures might cause people to keep their pets in a less-than-ideal situation
• the unhealthy double-standard: adoption = good, rehoming = bad
• how to intervene in conflicts between your animals (instead of relying on one to stand up for themselves)
• why educating the general public about normal dog and cat behavior is so important
