This week, we are joined by Lili Chin, the illustrator behind Doggie Language and Kitty Language, and our Pet Enrichment Categories poster. Even if you’re not familiar with her name, you’ve likely seen one of Lili’s illustrations if you’ve spent some time down the dog training rabbit hole. She started off with the Boogie illustrations- her Boston Terrier at the time- and now illustrates all sorts of animals! We’ve been using her infographics for years to help teach our clients and we’re so excited that we got to sit down and chat with her.

In this episode, you’re going to hear Emily and Lili talk about:

How familiarity makes observation easier
An intersection of expertises
Penguins
Staring obsessively at your pets

Emily started working with animals at a young age and struggled with the notion that you have to hurt, scare, or intimidate animals to help them. When she discovered the behavior sciences and learned that it wasn’t necessary to do so– that we can care for emotional, mental, and physical health simultaneously– she plunged headfirst into animal behavior. Emily loves helping current and prospective behavior professionals and working with pet parents through our in-depth services. She enjoys working with all species.
