You might have seen a post titled “Enriched to Death” being shared around social media in the last week. Of course, this is a misnomer because enrichment by definition is life-enhancing. But why is this post viral? Is there a reason we are worried about this?

REPLAY:  Drive, Deprivation, and Desperation

If you have worked with Sarah in person you might have heard her tell a handler “only one of you is allowed to be a shitshow.” This is her tongue in cheek way of communicating the when the environment is challenging, at least one end of the leash must have the skills to face those challenges. Of course, in an ideal world, both the dog and handler have the skills required for the challenged they are faced with, but we simply do not live in an ideal world!

Sarah’s renewed thoughts on barking, thanks to her Icelandic Sheepdog, Rayya, are here for you.
