169. Eileen Anderson, MM, MS

Eileen Anderson resists easy labels—she’s a dog writer, a passionate amateur, and the person most likely to tell you that the product promising your dog silence during a thunderstorm is working against physics. In this conversation, Eileen shares how a difficult dog pulled her out of a doctoral program and into behavior science, why most sound-dampening products can’t deliver what they promise, and how the simple reframe—your dog is not giving you a hard time, your dog is having a hard time—changed everything about how she understood the animals in her care. A generous, curious, and occasionally myth-busting conversation about dogs, sound, and the people who love them. https://colleenpelar.com/169-eileen-anderson-mm-ms
