Therapy Tails 70 - Sounds like a you thing

Dawn Walton, a human therapist, and Jess Probst, a dog behaviourist talk about empathy and what it really means. Of course we then discuss how that applies to dogs! There was an altercation in Starbucks the other day and we discuss the different ways we both interpreted the event.

Jess talks about John Calhoun's NIMH experiment where rats where given free and easy access to all necessary resources to study the impact on longevity. You can watch a video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CXj0AGuh4c

Finally we look at the difference between working on symptoms (the branches of a tree) and root cause (the roots of the tree)

(please note these episodes are recorded chats in Starbucks so may have more background noise than a usual podcast)
