"Gimme space, cat!" - Dog and Cat Chat with Lara

It's Training Cats and Dogs!

We can all get a little cranky as we get older and that goes for our pets as well. When animals start dealing with ailments such as arthritis that cause pain and discomfort, is easy for them to find triggers in things that were no problem before.

That’s the situation with Lara’s dog Bowie, who’s arthritis has caused some steps backward in his relationship with Neptune the cat. Before, they were coexisting peacefully and now, Bowie wants Neptune to stay away from his space!

So what can Lara do to help Bowie relax again and see Neptune as something completely unrelated to his aches and pains?
