Our guest this week is Kim Paciotti, owner of Training Canines and known by many as “the canine scientist”. Kim joins Amy and Dr. B. to discuss puppy training and essential oils. Kim tells us a bit about her history, including why she decided to transition away from her job as a professional chef, the extensive research she performed to learn how to properly train puppies, and how she became exposed to the joys of essential oils. She describes the relationship between a dog’s scent preferences, how those preferences correlate to their personality, how those preferences can be used to train and bond with a puppy as they mature, and the kinds of insights owners can gain from personality assessments for their puppies. Kim also goes into detail about how she developed the Empowered Puppy Personality Assessment and the Empowered Puppy Project to see how these same principals could be applied to older dogs.
