In this episode we discuss:
Who makes the decision – the vet, the trainer, or the pet owner?
How behavioral euthanasia is an “active choice” rather than a default decision – there is no formula, and this isn’t something that someone has to do because of a specific behavior pattern or problem, but rather an option that may be actively chosen due to safety or quality of life concerns that aren’t able to be mitigated.
How professionals can support and guide pet owners through the process.
The issues of guilt and shame associated with deciding to euthanize an otherwise healthy dog.
The importance of self-care and good boundaries.
