Hypervocalisation is a big topic when it comes to feline behaivour as it can have SO many underlying causes including physical health presentations.🐾🐈 Here, Faryal and I chat about the importance of ruling these in or out first to ensure we follow the “health and wellbeing first” approach to Veterinary Behaviour Medicine. 🐈🐾😻 🌟The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🌟 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #VetChat, #CatHealth, #PetTalk, #FelineBehaviour, #PetBehaviour, #PetBehavior, #VeterinaryBehaviour, #VeterinaryBehavior, #FelineBehaviourist, #BehaviourChange #PetTraining #ChildDevelopment #AnimalBehaviour #PodcastEpisode #PetLovers #PetPodcast

Watch this video to learn how to get started with the COMPASS GAME!🧭🐶 Like a compass needle that orientates to and “searches” for the magnetic north, the Compass Game is fun and teaches our dogs to navigate towards us, as a default behaviour!🐾💗🐕 It builds on our relationship with our dogs and makes us super reinforcing for them. The best part is that we do not have to call our dogs to stay nearby! 😍🐶🌟 The Compass Game rewards and reinforces our dogs’ choice to move towards and with us. If and when the reinforcement history of this game is strong and salient, we gradually start practising the Compass Game in different environments and situations. 🌟🐾🐕 Having our dogs want to “find” us and be with us, is extremely powerful - especially for off-leash walks. 🌟🐾💗 Do you think you are already your dog’s “magnetic north”? 🐾 #AnimalBehaviour, #loveyourdog #dogrelationship, #positivereinforcement, #dogs,#dogtraining, #dogtrainingtips, #dogtrainingadvice, #reinforcement, #reward

💗🐾When I met my wonderful client, Faryal, and her cat Simba, I was fascinated to hear that Faryal works with children with behavioural and developmental challenges and how her understanding of this was so compatible and transferable when it came to the challenges she was facing with Simba.💗🐾 Listen to this episode of The Pet Behaviour Chat Podcast to hear Faryal’s experiences of working with a Veterinary Behaviour expert and how we made use of the parallel theories of behaviour change in children and pets.🌟🐈 🐱This is a fascinating episode you won’t want to miss.🐱 🐈The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🐈 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #PetBehaviour, #PetBehavior, #VeterinaryBehaviour, #VeterinaryBehavior, #FelineBehaviourist, #BehaviourChange #PetTraining #ChildDevelopment #AnimalBehaviour #PodcastEpisode #PetLovers #PetPodcast

Research tells us just how important the very precious human-animal bond is to the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of our pets. 💗🐾 When you use punishment based interaction- or training methods that fragile bond gets damaged and the power dynamic shifts in favour of the punisher. 🌟🐈🐕 I want you all to think about the type or relationship you want to have with your pet - is it one based on mutual respect, communication, guardianship and compromise or is it one based on coercion, control and potentially physical, mental and emotional harm?🤔🐾🌟 I know what I prefer. 💗🐶🐱 Thoughts welcome in the chat. 🌟The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🌟 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #PetBehaviour, #PositiveTraining, #DogTrainingTips, #AnimalWelfare, #PetHealth, #PetWellness, #PetPodcast, #PetBehavior, #PositiveReinforcement, #AnimalBehavior, #AnimalBehaviour, #veterinarybehaviourist, #caninebehaviour, #caninebehavior, #caninebehaviourist, #AnimalBond, #PetRelationships, #PetCommunication, #PetGuardianship, #newepisode, #PetLove, #podcast, #podcaster

An idea not often thought about in relation to caring for our pet’s well being is “consent.”💗🐶🐱 Consent is key in cooperative care for our pets🌟🐾 The main goal of cooperative care is to allow our pets to choose to actively contribute to their own care and to give them agency over what happens to them.🤩🐶😺 It provides some measure of predictability and clarity. It removes ambiguity and thus reduces stress from handling, by allowing our pet to choose to participate or not.🌟💗 The foundational skills taught in cooperative care should go beyond a pet who chooses to comply, but also honouring when they choose to walk away. 🌟🐾 Once a consent behaviour is taught to our pet, it is easy and quick to transfer to new handling protocols, such as ear or eye examinations. For example, in the video, Rocco was taught a sustained chin rest as the consent behaviour where he fully understands that the chin rest is a green light and lifting the chin is a red light signal to the handler. 🐶💗🌟 He knows that it is not only okay to say no, but to trust that his decision will be respected. 💗🐕 It is wonderful that we can teach our pets to cooperate in their own care, offering them a way to positively impact their welfare, and accounting for their emotional as well as their physical experiences.🐾🐶🐱 #fearfree, #fearfreepets, #fearfreetraining, #fearfreevet, #cooperativecare, #animalwelfare, #dogs, #dogtraining, #dogbehaviour, #petconsent, #empowerpets, #petwellness,

💗🐾One of the many tools in our Behaviour Modification Toolbox are puzzle games and puzzle toys.💗🐾 Why are they so beneficial?

🐾💗Come and have a listen to episode 25 of The Pet Behaviour Chat Podcast where I de-bunk the very outdated myths surrounding… 🐾💗 🐶🌟Dominance theory, rank-reduction programs, alpha rolls and so much more…🐶🌟 🐾Let me explain why these practices are archaic and, quite frankly dangerous, when relating them to our domestic pet dogs!🐾 🐶🌟The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🐶🌟 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #PetBehaviour, #DogTraining, #PositiveReinforcement, #CanineBehaviour, #DogPodcast, #AnimalBehaviour, #DogLovers, #ModernDogTraining, #PetParenting, #DogBehaviour, #podcast, #newepisode, #listentothis, #caninebehaviourist, #veterinarybehaviourist, #hierachy, #alphabehaviour, #socialhierarchy,

🐾💗Ooh this is a juicy episode!🐾💗 Have a listen to my thoughts about the (now very much outdated) idea of hierarchical or dominance-based relationships between dogs, or worse still, dogs and people ! One thing that we MUST remember is that IF we ever do use the term “dominant” when speaking about dogs, it ALWAYS pertains to the quality of a relationship between 2 individuals in a very specific context rather than being a “label” or personality or character trait of one of the dogs. 🌟🐶 Keen to learn more?

💗📓I LOVE this book. 💗📓 Another constant companion of mine for the next 6 months as I prepare for my board exams later this year.🐾🌟 AS veterinary behaviourists, psychopharmaceutical medications are a cornerstone of our practice and our treatment plans - but only where indicated. 🌟🐶🐈 Knowing these medications inside out is essential to use them correctly and achieve successful outcomes in our patients. 🐾 I love being at the forefront of this field and applying this knowledge and understanding to my cases so I can help improve my patients’ quality of life and welfare.💗🐶🐈 #VeterinaryBehaviorists, #PsychopharmaceuticalMedications, #BoardExamsPrep, #AnimalHealthcare, #VeterinaryMedicine, #VetLife, #AnimalWelfare, #AnimalBehavior, #VetCare, #books, #book, #psychopharmaceuticals, #psychotropics, #psychoactivemedication, #veterinarypsychiatrist, #psychiatry, #veterinarybehaviourmedicine, #veterinarybehaviormedicine, #veterinarybehaviourist, #veterinarymedicine, #veterinaryspecialist, #mentalhealth, #emotionalhealth, #behaviouralhealth

❔🐶Should I neuter my male dog and if so, at what age?❔🐶 🐾🌟This is currently a big topic in the veterinary world as traditional views on this topic (neuter all dogs at a very early age) are being challenged and are changing.🐾🌟 💗🐕Have a listen to Atlas’s story - a young dog who struggled with behavioural concerns from a young age and whom, in discussion with his owners, we decided to neuter a little later in life once he had matured both physically as well as mentally and emotionally. Listen also to how we set up the procedure for Atlas to give him the very best experience !💗🐕 🐾The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🐾 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #puppybehaviour, #puppybehavior, #puppydevelopment, #puppylife, #newpuppy, #puppylove, #puppyparenting, #veterinarybehaviour, #petwellness, #NeuteringDebate, #PetWellbeing, #CanineBehaviour, #VeterinaryInsights, #AnimalPodcast, #PetHealthTalk, #BehaviourConsulting, #PodcastDiscussion, #behaviourconsultation, #animalbehaviour, #podcast, #podcastlife, #podcastcommunity, #podcasthost, #podcastinterview, #newepisode, #podcastworld

🌟😻Here is a tip for all cat caregivers!🌟😻 🐾🐱Have you ever wondered why your cat insists on waking you up at the crack of dawn? 🐾🐱 😼All cats start hunting at dawn so they are communicating to us that they need to hunt and eat. Although it can be an annoyance to us, especially if we want a lie in over the weekend, it is a behavioural need for them. 😼 💗😻Instead of ignoring or verbally reprimanding them, or having to get out of your comfy bed, keep a pre prepared puzzle feeder - we highly recommend the Doc and Phoebe Mouse feeder like the one in the video - in your bedside drawer or another spot which is in arm's reach from your bed. When your cat wakes you up, simply toss the feeder for them and go back to snoozing. You can also use a timed feeder and set it to the time they usually want to wake you up. We think this is a win-win for you and your cat :)💗😻 🐾What time does your cat usually try to wake you up?🐾 #catnutrition, #feedyourcat, #healtycat, #catfoodtips, #catdiet, #cattreats, #feedingfelines, #catpuzzletoys, #puzzleplaytime, #interactivecats, #enrichmenttoys, #catenrechemnt, #puzzlemastercats #catcare, #felinefriendly, #felineenrichment, #cats, #behaviouralhealth, #mentalheatlh, #cat, #atlover, #catlife, #lovecats, #animalwelfate, #petwelfare, #pets

🐾🌟We often get asked at what age we can start diagnosing and treating behaviour problems in our pets.🐾🌟 💗🐶Well, the answer is that no age is ever too young if your pet is showing behaviours that are very different from what you have experienced before. 💗🐶 💗🐾Have a listen to Eva and Altlas’s story to see how Dr Katrin helped this lovely family and their young dog with his behavioural challenges. 💗🐾 🌟The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🌟 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #puppybehaviour, #puppybehavior, #puppydevelopment, #puppylife, #newpuppy, #puppylove, #puppyparenting, #veterinarybehaviour, #petwellness, #behaviourconsultation, #animalbehaviour, #podcast, #podcastlife, #podcastcommunity, #podcasthost, #podcastinterview, #newepisode, #podcastworld

🌟💗One of the most reliable ways to diagnose pain is by observing behaviour change. 🌟💗 Pain and behaviour are just 2 sides of the same coin and we can see this in so many things: 🐾1. Similarity of body language in fear, anxiety, stress and pain 🐾2. Similar neurobiochemical processes in fear, anxiety, stress and pain. 🐾3. Similar diagnostic process for behaivour and pain. 🌟We have to start being more aware about just how much pain can affect behaviour and we have to start getting better at diagnosing both pain and behavioural disorders !🌟 💗The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts💗 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #podcast, #listentothis, #newepisode, #podcastrecommendations, #behaviourist, #behaviourchange, #animalbehaviourist, #veterinarybehaviourist, #veterinarybehaviorist, #behaviourandpain #healthandwellness, # emotionalwellbeing, #holistichealth, #dog, #cat, #catcare, #dogcare, #bodylanguage, #fear, #anxiety

🐾🌟 Physical health plays SUCH an important role when it comes to behaviour medicine and we have found that, if the physical health elements is not addressed and treated, the desired behaviour change is usually not achieved.🐾🌟 🐶😺This is why we, as vets, absolutely have to be involved in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of behaviour patients !!🐶😺 🌟 The Pet Behaviour Chat on Apple Podcasts🌟 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-pet-behaviour-chat/id1710742552 #podcast, #listentothis, #newepisode, #podcastrecommendations, #behaviourist, #behaviourchange, #animalbehaviourist, #veterinarybehaviourist, #veterinarybehaviorist #healthandwellness, # emotionalwellbeing, #holistichealth, #dog, #cat, #catcare, #dogcare
