Enrichment for the Real World
You've dedicated your life to helping animals- just like us.
Emily Strong was training praying mantids at 7.
Allie Bender was telling her neighbor to refill their bird feeder because the birds were hungry at 2.
You're an animal person; you get it.
We've always been animal people. We've been wanting to better animals' lives since forever, so we made a podcast for people like us.
Join Emily and Allie, the authors of Canine Enrichment for the Real World, for everything animal care- from meeting animals' needs to assessing goals to filling our own cups as caregivers and guardians.

#96 - Renato Zanetti with Isa Daduato: How to Make Dog Daycares Enriching
We're excited to bring you an extra special interview episode this week! In our first bi-lingual episode, we are joined by Renato Zanetti, a Zootechnician who has a master's degree in veterinary medicine and animal welfare. He is a Brazilian pioneer in the use of management, free of aversive and punitive stimuli, focusing on the emotions of animals. His philosophy is: “A dog should leave the daycare better than when it arrived”.
And a very special thank you to Isa Daduato, for connecting us with Renato, and being our interpreter for this episode!
In this episode, you’re going to hear Emily and Renato talk about:
- In group settings, the individual still matters.
- If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
- Assessing and adjusting as you go sets everyone up for success.
- Healthy communication, a growth mindset, and enrichment for everyone are the foundations for successful team management.
- Renato and Emily both love to smell animals.
