Behavior Therapy: Behind the Curtain Part 1 (The Client Journey)

This may be our most important Dogs Unknown episode to date. We are joined by INSTINCT clients Stephanie Chen and Jessica Arnold, who have worked through (and continue to work through) complex behavior challenges with their dogs Nimbus and Nova in Manhattan, NYC.

We discuss
- What they were feeling prior to reaching out for help, and what prompted them to seek professional guidance.
- How the process was different than what they were expecting
- What were some of the major challenges and hurdles
- What did they learn from the process
- What advice would they give themselves if they were just starting out (or to people who are just starting or are on a behavior journey with their dog).

Our goal for this episode was to give people hope if they are currently struggling, while also peeling back the curtain to see what this journey actually looks like.
