What happens when you get two behavior consultants and long time friends talking dogs, behavior, and life? In this episode, I talk with Michael Shikashio CDBC on a wide range of topics, while getting a bit philosophical along the way. Hear us discuss:

  • How he differentiates reactivity and aggression
  • Thresholds in behavior
  • Why empathy is so important with clients (and everyone)
  • My recent move to Germany
  • Living through Hurricane Helene 
  • Why Mike can't participate in discussions on sports at the barber shop
  • And so much more
