In this implementation episode, Emily and Allie talk about:

Emily’s love of infomercials
How we watch videos and what we are looking for
A couple of interactions where sound was getting in the way

This week, we are joined by Lili Chin, the illustrator behind Doggie Language and Kitty Language. Even if you’re not familiar with her name, you’ve likely seen one of Lili’s illustrations if you’ve spent some time down the dog training rabbit hole. She started off with the Boogie illustrations- her Boston Terrier at the time- and now illustrates all sorts of animals! We’ve been using her infographics for years to help teach our clients and we're so excited that we got to sit down and chat with her.

In this episode, you’re going to hear Emily and Lili talk about:
