About this episode
Laurie Fass discusses the importance of early training for dogs and the dynamics of pet interactions in households.
Laurie Fass discusses pet cooperation and the development of good behavior in dogs, emphasizing the importance of starting training early rather than waiting for a puppy to “grow out of” unwanted behaviors. She explains that cooperation doesn’t simply appear with age and that consistent guidance during the early stages is key to raising a well adjusted dog. Laurie also explores how different animals interact within a household, including why some dogs and cats may not get along and how those dynamics can range from manageable tension to more serious concerns. She offers insight into recognizing when conflicts require intervention and stresses that pet owners have a responsibility to actively manage behavior and keep all animals safe.
