Welcome to Enrichment for the Real World, the podcast devoted to improving the quality of life of pets and their people through enrichment.
Last week we heard from Nathan Andrews and one of the topics we discussed was agency. This week we’re going to dive further into what that can look like in your home and how to make sure your pet has agency.
In this implementation episode, we talk about:
- 3 steps to making sure there’s agency in your enrichment plan
- How to measure agency
- Some super cute stories about how agency helped maladaptive behaviors

Does the feast or famine client booking cycle have you stressing?
One month you have so many clients that you can barely come up for air and the next you're wondering if this is the month you have to shut your business down because NO ONE is booking.
