    TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains graphic details and emotions regarding euthanizing a pet due to severe aggression. Both Em and Lana, get very real and very emotional. This is not an episode for children and maybe not one to listen to at work, at least not without headphones.

    On this episode of Straight Up Dog Talk, Lana, and Em both share personal stories about having a dog with idiopathic aggression, also known as rage syndrome. This condition is NOT treatable and is in the best interest of all parties to take action to make sure that everyone remains safe.

We are here to tell you that you are NOT alone and you have support. If you are experiencing situations like the ones in this episode, please do not hesitate to ask for help if needed. Our mission is to educate on this topic so that other people are not suffering in silence.
