In this episode I  chat with Emily Strong and Allie Bender, authors of Canine Enrichment for the Real World.  Emily, Allie, and I get to geek out a bit, and chat about things like agency, modal action patterns, and stereotypies in dogs. But of course, we also dive deep into what enrichment really is, and why it matters so much in aggression cases.
