In this episode, Nikki is joined by fellow colleague Gray. They discuss the importance of advocating for your dog when there is fear or pain involved. Since your dog can't speak about their feelings it is our job as pet parents to do whatever is necessary to ensure the welfare and health of their canine companion. 

TW: Mention of guns, use of shock collars and prong collars.
