Sean Will and Maasa Nishimuta

Have you heard about the constructional approach to working with fearful or aggressive dogs? And maybe you've heard about systems based approaches to problem solving behavior challenges?

For this inaugural episode of Fresh Bites, which is a shorter version of the bite into the dog on a focus topic, where we bring in guests with unique and inspiring ideas to working with aggression in dogs. I chat with Shawn Will and Maasa Nishimuta, and geek out a little on the five elements of the constructional approach to behavior change.

Shawn and Maasa are both incredibly insightful and were really fun to chat with!
