If someone says their cat acts "like a dog"... do you know exactly what they mean? Is having a "dog-like" cat considered ::better:: than having a cat-like cat?

In this chat with fellow trainer Matt Schimsky, we talk about society's stereotypes about cats vs. dogs (and why they affect our relationships and willingness to train with our animals).

What you'll hear in this episode:

  • why Matt didn't like cats (until he lived with them)
  • how his experience with "dog-like" cats has affected the way he train
  • what crucial step you need to include in your pets' exercise and enrichment routine (that you're probably missing right now)
