Zazie chatted with Shannon Riley about what science tells us about the puppy blues, positive reinforcement training, and more!
I was delighted to be a guest on the Backyard Pet Talk podcast with Shannon Riley.
You can listen to the episode here (and on Apple) or wherever you get your podcasts, and you can also watch on Youtube.

In today’s special episode, we talk with Zazie Todd, PHD, about some scientific studies; some dogs are harder to train than others, adolescent dogs have more issues than puppies, the puppy blues thing!”
