Episode 342 – An Ethological Roundup

commentary_0607aThis podcast briefly recaps the  ethological concepts discussed in the past 6 weeks that I’ve found particularly helpful in my work with animals experiencing behavioral problems and those who live with them.

Another benefit of taking an ethological view of animal problems that I didn’t mention is that, from a biological perspective, humans also rank as animals. Consequently understanding these concepts can make some otherwise seemingly incomprehensible human behavior understandable too. And as with animals, that understanding can eliminate a lot of energy-sapping negative emotions.
