Are We Treating Dog Anxiety or Building Resilience? | Rita Hogan on Holistic Dog Health
Is dog anxiety becoming more common...or are we missing the bigger picture? In this first episode of Short Leash, Rita Hogan joins Dr. Sue Howell and Kay Stewart for an honest conversation about what may really be driving anxiety in dogs. Rather than viewing anxiety as simply a behavioral problem, they explore how stress, nutrition, movement, the nervous system, and the human-animal bond all influence long-term emotional health.
Dog news, minus the nonsense.
Shortleash is very boring for non-dog people, or people without dogs.
Short Leash! is a Feed Real Institute original, hosted by Dr. Sue Howell and Kay Stewart. Created by Turk and Ruby, with executive production by Ruby and Nelly.
