You bring a new pet home and you're keeping them separated from your resident pet like everyone says to do... but what are the next steps?!

In this Dog and Cat Chat, I give Agnes a plan of action for Daisy, her young, prey-drivey dog and Chrys, her newly adopted chill-dude orange cat.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• why scheduling time for your cat to have the full run of the house (often) is important
• why an "airlock" of barriers is essential
• why the goal is NOT to get the animals closer to each other
• what to do if the plan "doesn't work"
