On this episode, Gremi interviews Travis Sieve, one of the trainers at Helping Hands Humane Society. Travis teaches dog obedience classes along with speciality classes like tricks for fun. He has 15+ years of experience and is also a biologist by profession, so he's got many interesting insights and stories to share regarding cat and dog biology and behavior!

We discuss many common issues including cats pottying outside the litter box, dogs who make a fool of themselves in public, house training puppies, nervous owners, etc. We also touch on how 2020 has turned your pet's routine upside down just as much as your own and how to help get them back on track, even if you're home together 24/7. 

We bust some myths including the one about old dogs learning new tricks. Did you know according to scientists, you cat *does* know its name? It just chooses not to respond! Mixed breed dogs are generally healthier than purebreds, and please #adoptdontshop if you're adding a pet to the family this holiday season.
