The Behavior Files: Learning to Speak Italian Pointer with Jen Abrams (MA, ACAAB, CSAT)

Mars and his devoted companion Emily had a rocky journey from Florida to Indiana before eventually landing in Brooklyn, NY. Immediately upon moving to Brooklyn, Emily found Behavior Vets and Jen through a referral by her vet. Listen to how Jen created a behavior plan that helped Mars find the confidence to navigate the city streets safely and make new friends.
