My turn! tbh not much has been going on; just vibing with our new little friend and showing him our world, going to weddings together, loving on our older furred friends and dealing with their age related ailments as they come. I started a veterinary behavior residency (long time coming!) based in Ohio with a very wonderful and patient mentor, Dr. Elizabeth Feltes and as a result have had to really perfect the art of travelling without a baby while breastfeeding 🫠 but mostly lately i just beg family and friends to come over and play board games with me, feed me, hug our baby, then snooze through and accidentally take screenshots of my pump alarms :)

Thank you so much to @susanlightla for having me on her podcast to discuss one of my favorite topics: puppy socialization. If you will ever interact with a puppy, this episode is for you…so yes, it’s for everybody!

Thank you so much to @susanlightla for having me on her podcast to discuss one of my favorite topics: puppy socialization. If you will ever interact with a puppy, this episode is for you…so yes, it’s for everybody! A little sneak peak: “socialization isn’t the same as exposure. Exposing them to new things can teach them any outcome. They could learn from all of those socialization outings that men in hats at Home Depot, other dogs, vacuums, etc. are scary. Everything is scary. If you don’t pay attention to your puppy’s body language, if you’re not pairing [the exposures] with high value food rewards at the right timing.” You can find the episode wherever you listen to podcasts.
