Summary

In this episode of In The Vet's Office, Dr. Josie sits down with highly acclaimed dog trainer, Nikki Varva. They start with a sad, but common case of the week. They then answer some listener questions like why the heck is my puppy humping everything?! Nikki then tells Dr. Josie what owners should be looking for and what are some red flags when choosing a trainer for their pets. They discuss some of the most common behavioral issues in pets like separation anxiety (especially after Covid), leash reactivity, & situational anxiety. Nikki talks about how owners are often enabling their pets and that boundaries are your biggest friend when training your animals. Dr. Josie quizzes Nikki on some of the most common breeds seen at the clinic. The episode wraps up with PAW & ORDER in which Dr. Josie and Nikki discuss the cons of bell training, walking on a harness, and free feeding your pets.
