A recent review explores the social support that pets can provide to LGBTQ+ people. My latest at @psychologytoday.com www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/fell...
The LGBTQ+ Human-Animal Relationship
Research on the LGBTQ+ person-animal bond shows that pets provide valuable support and encourage self-acceptance, but that more inclusivity is needed.

Why Do People Use Outdated Dog Training Methods?
For the welfare of pet dogs, it’s important for more people to learn about the value—and effectiveness—of reward-based dog training methods.

Enrichment makes feeding fun and stimulates your dog!
You can get dedicated puzzle toys for these activities, like the Kong Wobbler, or you can create your own with cardboard boxes, tubes and old towels.
Think about using a portion of your dog’s daily food allowance in foraging and training. 🐶

Aversive methods have risks for dog welfare and shouldn't be used. But what are they? Because the technical definition is a little, well, technical, when I wrote Bark! I included a table with examples. It's important to stick to humane training methods (and they work well!).
