Sumari Potgieter is joined by Jess Beer, owner of Kiwi Vet Behaviour. Following the significant and widespread reaction to an NZ court ruling on a case in which a dog bit a veterinarian, Jess and Sumari discuss the need for better education about raising safe dogs. Using the CAV resource, they discuss how both vets and owners can work together to manage the pet's behaviour so that the pet can receive the care they need in a safe manner. Reactivity is not aggression, but it can quickly escalate, and Jess provides practical advice on how to identify and manage these situations.
