#96 - Renato Zanetti with Isa Daduato: How to Make Dog Daycares Enriching

Enrichment for the Real World

We're excited to bring you an extra special interview episode this week! In our first bi-lingual episode, we are joined by Renato Zanetti, a Zootechnician who has a master's degree in veterinary medicine and animal welfare. He is a Brazilian pioneer in the use of management, free of aversive and punitive stimuli, focusing on the emotions of animals. His philosophy is: “A dog should leave the daycare better than when it arrived”.

And a very special thank you to Isa Daduato, for connecting us with Renato, and being our interpreter for this episode!

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

• In group settings, the individual still matters.
• If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
• Assessing and adjusting as you go sets everyone up for success.
• Healthy communication, a growth mindset, and enrichment for everyone are the foundations for successful team management.
• Renato and Emily both love to smell animals.
