Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A chat with Zazie Todd
Q: How do you reconcile the language you might use to discuss complex scientific methodology versus that for a dog or cat parent?
I draw on my background in human psychology to communicate scientific concepts in a relatable way that is relevant to everyday dog ownership.
What happened there?
Q: What about the other part of learning by association?
Yes and no. Dogs can get used to some individuals over time, but generalizing that comfort to all new people can be a gradual process requiring consistent exposure and positive reinforcement.
What happened there?
Q: What would your top tips be for taking a dog to a busy environment?
You need to train desired behaviors at home first, gradually introducing distractions in progressively more challenging environments until they can perform reliably in public settings.

Q: What happens if sometimes you just let it slide, you let the dog get away with it?
As long as you don't fall into an inflationary trap, short sessions can still be effective.
