139 Can I offer Veterinary Behaviour Consultations without being a Trainer?
Episode 139 – Can I offer Veterinary Behaviour Consultations without being a Trainer? This episode was inspired by a Zoom Call question from one of my lovely participants of Learn To Speak Dog and Learn To Speak Cat, who is in the process of setting up a Veterinary Behaviour Service in a new hospital she has started working in. Her concern is that she can't yet offer consultations as she has not yet found aligned trainers to work with who can support her in her cases. What do you think my thoughts and advice were to her? Have a listen to this episode to find out and to hear more about my own personal journey and how I currently manage the "Behaviour Modification" or "Training" element of the Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan. If you'd like the chance to ask me your questions in person, you c

138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question!
138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question! The avoidance of triggers and stimuli is such an important part of the treatment plan and falls into the Management "M" of the "7 Ms" Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan Template! However, it is also the part that gets possibly the most pushback from caregivers for a number of different reasons. In this episode, I chat through those reasons as well as why I believe avoidance is so important for brain processes and eventually achieving a successful outcome. I also talk about the risks to the pet when we don't avoid and continue to expose them to threatening or frustrating triggers. Finally, I talk about some of the strategies I use to get caregivers on board and how we eventually do start the process of re-introduction to those triggers, stimuli and contexts. <

137 Interoception – The 8th Sense
Episode 137 – Interoception – The 8th Sense This episode was inspired by the 3rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour. During this conversation, the idea of Interoception was spoken about, and I thought it would be a GREAT topic to dive into! Interoception is one of the 3 "Hidden Senses" and is essentially a sensory system that provides a dialogue between the brain and the inside of the body. In this episode you will learn: 1. What Interoception is and how it fits in with the other 7 senses.</p

136 Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis
Episode 136 – Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis I am always talking about bridging the gap between Veterinary Professionals and great non-Veterinary Professionals and encouraging more collaborative ways of working to best serve our patients and their families. So, when I heard that Charlotte runs a Cooperative Care Service at her local Veterinary Practice, provides CPD to the Vets at the practice as well as educational classes to the practice's clients, I just knew I had to chat to her to find out more! In this episode, Charlotte and I chat about the benefits of Cooperative Care and Gentle Handling for the patients, the caregivers and the veterinary teams, and the kinds of cases that could benefit most from these approaches. Charlotte also provides some really simple, easy and effective tools for helping patients feel safer in the veterinary practice – tools that anyone working in most practices can easily learn and implement! <span lang= "EN-US" style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-font-kerning:

Episode 133 – What's new in CCDS – Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring In this episode, I talk through the 2026 Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring of CCDS. As a caregiver of a senior dog myself, this is a topic very close to my heart, so when these guidelines came out, I had to dig into them to get the very latest information on CCDS. Written by a group of amazing experts, including Behaviour, Neurology and Medicine Specialists as well as a number of General Practitioners, these guidelines provide a framework for diagnosis and monitoring of CCDS, highlight the challenges associated with this and look towards new developments in the future.
