Saharai “Sada” Salazar has been working professionally with canines for over 18 years.

Saharai’s education in domestic animal and wildlife biology with an emphasis on canine studies included behavior, anatomy and physiology, genetics, evolution, and diseases at the University of California, Davis.
- Saharai’s passion in working with Fear, Anxiety and Stress (FAS) in dogs, especially fear-based aggression, was cultivated in the Isolation Ward of a county animal shelter.

Monday Feb 14, 2022
Monday Feb 14, 2022
- Sometimes we take on so much in our day-to-day life, and to make things worse, we suffer more in our head than we actually need to.
- In this week's episode, Panos comes back from a week out of Sydney to reflect on a few things: how stress affects learning, teaching, and relationships.
- To accept your current situation, whatever it be, your dog's behaviour, pressures of work, feeling overwhelmed with life's demands, etc.
- Once you see it for what it is, make plans moving forward, and over time, learn to read these patterns and be proactive.
- You are only best for others when you, yourself is at your best, this applies to your relationship and training with your dog and, of course many other factors to other areas of your life.
