Last week, we heard from Kim Rose and one of the topics we discussed was what behavior consulting can learn from nutrition. This week, we’re going to dive further into if it can have an effect, it can have a side effect, and talk about implementation with the animals in your life.

In this implementation episode, Emily and Allie talk about:

Relay racing and choosing violence
When you do too good of a job
How Allie’s dog is a weirdo who creeps people out
A floofy fence fighter named Timothée
And an extinction burst for the ages

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.
