How are the pandemic pets doing now? Plus tips for struggling owners

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

According to the ASPCA, 23 million households got a new dog or cat during the pandemic - that’s 1 in 5 households in the country. Now, local shelters have seen an uptick in animals being brought back because their owners weren't really prepared, or the pets are having behavioral problems when their owners leave the house. For people who want to keep their pandemic pets, how can we help them adjust as our lives change? Pat "Packman" Buttitta, owner of Packman to the Rescue K9 Solutions and Coaching in New Jersey and author of 'God Spelled Backwards', says it's more about training the person than training the dog. He gives us his advice on how to deal with your dog's separation anxiety and explains why he thinks traditional training doesn't really work - it's all about your mindset and understanding your dog's psychology.
