How the hell do Iโ€ฆ help my cat and dog get along?

What is involved in taking cats and dogs who can't even look at each other to being able to spend time together as housemates?

In this episode, Naomi walks through the general process she uses to help her clients' cats and dogs learn to coexist.

What you'll hear in this episode:

  • why helping each animal feel safe is always the first step

  • what types of behaviors both your cats and dogs need to know

  • why you can't "just train the dog to leave the cat alone"
