Click Therapy for Dogs (and the people who love them)
Welcome to Click Therapy for Dogs (and the people who love them).
In this podcast, I’ll be sharing information and practical solutions to common and sometimes complex problems related to pet dog companionship, all backed by science, professional knowledge and experience.
Hi, I’m Vivian Zottola, an applied anthrozoologist, dog psychologist, and canine behavior modification trainer specializing in preventing and resolving behavior problems between people and pet companions. People hire me for various reasons, from providing behavior evaluations and puppy training to improving separation anxiety and reducing the risk of a bite to toddler, family member, and other dogs.
Expect to learn a range of dog-centric topics from animal welfare and ethics, the psychology of human-animal relations, best practices for clear communication and management, and mindful, kind, and humane training tips.
Thanks for listening, subscribing and sharing what you learn with others, including your pet companion, who … might love you even more for it!

Pet Loss And Grieving
As pet guardians, one of the most challenging experiences to live through is the loss and grief of our beloved companions. Death is a part of the natural life cycle of all living beings. Yet, when we acquire a pet, we intentionally, or not, sweep the notion of pet loss right under the rug facing it only and unless necessary. In this podcast we discuss pet loss, the steps of grieving and pet loss counseling which differs from other therapies. If you’ve enjoyed this episode please share and if you have questions let me know. I can be reached at vivian@bostonk9concierge.com
