Spouse Animal Psychology is 11 years outdated these days. It appears eleventh anniversaries are symbolized by way of metal, so I went searching for a photograph of a canine or cat with one thing chrome steel. Are you able to bet why I picked this picture? I really like that we will see how the photographer used a deal with to entice the cat to come back and pose with the thermos bottle. They’ve a suite of identical footage with this beautiful cat, together with one during which we see the deal with being eaten, however this one gave the impression probably the most becoming for this weblog because the thought of the use of meals to coach cats (and canine) is a normal theme.

The low used to be having to name an finish to The Pawsitive Submit. I completely beloved writing about dog and tom cat science (together with the sensible makes use of of it) for this, along side all of the webinars we hosted and Kristi Benson’s a laugh and academic columns on canine coaching. However sadly, because of a declining subscriber base (other folks advised me it used to be the price of dwelling), it needed to shut. Truthfully, I am nonetheless unhappy about it.
