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

    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 situationthe unhealthy double-standard: adoption = good, rehoming = badhow 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 Want to dive a bit deeper?

    How to introduce a puppy to a (blind) cat - with Sammy Hyde

    When introducing two animals, how do you know when to move onto the next step? What are potential red flags that tell you to slow down? In this chat with fellow pet professional Sammy Hyde, we talk all about her blind cat Murdoch, the "king of the household."

    Can a dog with prey drive live with a cat? - with Simone Mueller

    Dogs are predators who often see cats as prey. How can we help them live peacefully together? What is prey drive anyway? There's all of this and so much more in this chat with Simone Mueller, world-renowned trainer and behavior consultant who literally wrote the book on predation in dogs (and how to address it). We talk about: why (and how) her method of training dogs who chase cats is different than minehow to train FOR the situation, and not IN the situation (sort of)how to identify whether your dog wants to eat your cat or play with them (and why it might not even matter)!

    Evening chill time... Will your dog rest? Or lunge at the cat?

    Why might the same contexts trigger totally different behaviors in our pets? It can make their interactions really tough to predict... In this episode, Naomi talks through the theoretical reasons why your pets' behavior might not be as predictable as the antecedent-behavior-consequence model seems. What you'll hear in this episode: the four (and a half) reasons* why different behaviors can happen in seemingly the same situationhow the intricacies of reinforcement can get complicated relatively quicklywhy being a detail-oriented observer can help you predict your pet's behaviors *note: there are MANY more reasons - these are just the ones I covered in this session :) Want to get in on these Masterclasses?
