We generally focus on dogs' fears of fireworks, but they can frighten cats too! Dr. Ballantyne spoke to @stevedalepets about this topic yesterday. Check out Steve's article at https://t.co/sO5daPBMGb #decodingyourcat #catbehavior

Our friend, Kristina Rosinia of Pawsitive Pup Training, created this fantastic handout with @lilita_yaya on hedgehog body language to help owners and foster families better understand the hedgehogs in their care. Download this handout for free at: https://t.co/2Z3xWc7MXe…/

Understanding how another species communicates is a crucial step in building a positive and respectful relationship with them. Many animals use body language to communicate how they are feeling, but we humans don't always understand those signals or may misinterpret them.

We know a lot of you are stuck inside these days. If you're looking for a fun activity that also strengthens your relationship with your dog, why not try teaching her a new trick. Kikopup has a ton of great video tutorials. This is one of our favorites: https://t.co/FwV0cgbc5h
