🎖️Today marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem and I’m lucky enough to be at the Airborne Memorial Service. Operation Market Garden was the largest airborne landing in military history and is regarded as one of the most controversial episodes of the Second World War - so much so that Hollywood made a film about it called a Bridge Too Far. Amongst the 35,000 airborne troops was a plucky hen - strapped to her owner Lt. Pat Glover. This is the story of Myrtle the parachick. 🐓🎖️

Check out the PDR approved Human Behaviour Change course by Hanne Grice Pet Training & Behaviour

Whether you’re an animal training instructor, behaviourist, groomer, or working in veterinary practice or rescue, you’ll also be working with clients and animal guardians. Yet humans can be tricky, and challenges can pop up along the way, for example, resistance to a recommended treatment or training programme! So how can you overcome such challenges?

Well, Hannah has developed a fabulous PDR approved course approved by iPET Network on Human Behaviour Change for Animal Professionals that is jam-packed full of insights to help you learn more about human behaviour change and how to successfully achieve it, designed specifically for those working within the animal industry. By developing your knowledge and understanding about human behaviour change, you can enhance your practitioner skills, helping your human clients understand differing perspectives and embrace new ideas like different handling methods or ways of thinking about their situation or animal. In turn, this helps improve the outcomes for their four-legged friend.

The Human Behaviour Change Course for Animal Professionals is 15 hours of quality professional development, created by leading professions in the field, and worth 15 PDR points and priced at £120.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐠’𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐜𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬
For most dog guardians, nothing beats that cute gaze of our dog’s eyes when they are seeking affection, comfort or attention. Whilst science has shown human-dog eye gazing produces oxytocin release (known as the ‘love hormone’) (Nagasawa et al., 2015), helping promote that special bond between us and our four-legged friends, new research has revealed what might be happening on a neurological level during these interactions.

A recent study published in Advanced Science by Ren et al. (2024) used electroencephalography (EEG) to measure the brain activity of humans and dogs over several days. Researchers discovered that brain activity between humans and dogs becomes synchronised when they engage in mutual gazing, and this synchronisation strengthens over time. So what the heck does this mean for dog guardians? Read my article at https://www.hannegrice.com/walk-the-dog/how-your-dogs-brain-syncs-with-yours-the-science-of-connection/

We love getting some positive reinforcement as trainers. So a big “thank you” to Team Marvin who presented Sarah and I with a stick of positive reinforcement, following their trip to Blackpool. My ‘fit for 50’ has suddenly taken a back-step! 😉🐾

Case study: Coco gets worried about vehicles causing her to dart about, freeze, pull on lead, jump up, even vocalise etc., making loose lead challenging for her family.

We’ve recently started working together to help build Coco’s confidence, introduce vehicles slowly and steadily. Ultimately, the aim is to have her comfortable around vehicles and able to walk by the handler’s side, generalising this behaviour across contexts. She’s making super progress. Great effort Team Coco - onwards and upwards. 💪🎉🐾

“Four in 10 cats choose to play fetch with their owners…A survey of more than 8,000 cat owners found the pets are more likely to fetch objects if they are generally more active and playful, and if they live indoors.”

New research highlights how playful cats can be and the importance of enriching activities for our feline friends. Learn more at https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0309068
