ABOUT THE SHOW

In this SHORTS episode, Malena DiMartini discusses the prevention of separation anxiety in dogs. She emphasizes that while there are things we can do to optimize our dogs for long-term success, it is important to recognize that we cannot prevent something if we don't know the cause.
