About this episode
We are taught that jealousy and envy are not particularly productive emotions. Well, maybe – and maybe not.

Karen is an experienced dog trainer and behaviorist and she is author of a book called Treat Everyone Like a Dog (https://amzn.to/3m9y1w1). Listen as she explains how to take the principles of positive dog training and use them to get people to do what you want.
