    154 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Olivia Bury – Getting Caregivers to "Buy In"

    28/09/2026 | 21 mins.
    Episode 154 – 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Olivia Bury – Getting Caregivers to "Buy In"
     
    Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!
    The rules of the game are as follows:
    ·         Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.
    ·         Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…
    ·         Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!
     
    In this episode, I chat to Australian based Vet, Olivia Bury, about the sometimes-tricky topic of getting Caregiver "Buy In", especially if they are perceiving their pet's behaviour progress differently to you.
    Have a listen as we talk through welfare implications, creating strong Caregiver relationships, when to be declarative and when to leave a topic for another time, and how videos, questionnaires and specific questions can be really helpful to help you assess the global situation and get straight to the point, especially if you are short on time.
     
    I really loved this conversation as the human factors of Behaviour Consultations can sometimes be the most challenging aspects!

    153 The Canine Regulation Project with Nina Fotara

    22/09/2026 | 41 mins.
    Episode 153 – The Canine Regulation Project with Nina Fotara
     
    In this episode, holistic dog trainer, Nina Fotara, and I have such a cool conversation about Nina's new venture – The Canine Regulation Project!
    We dive into questions such as what "Regulation" means to both of us, how we use the concept in our work, and what it means for both the pets and the caregivers we work with.
     
    As the conversation progresses, we delve deeper into philosophical aspects of working in the Pet Behaviour sector and share how we can broaden our toolkits by considering canine- and human regulation as an important part of our treatment -and care plans!
     
    I really hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it, and if you'd like to learn more about Nina and her work, please read on!
    Nina Fotara KCAI (WG) is the multi-award-winning Holistic Gundog Specialist™, a trainer and behaviourist at Confident Canine® in Essex, a business built around nervous-system-led work with both gundogs and their guardians. Her tagline, balancing both ends of the lead, captures her approach: working with a dog's nervous system and the energetics its guardian brings, rather than just the behaviour on the surface. Nina is also the founder of the Canine Regulation Project, including the annual Canine Regulation Day on 14 September and the creator of the Holistic Dog® Deck.

    In this episode, I chat to Veterinary Technician with a Special Interest in Behaviour, Drew Bedor, about when, as a Trainer or Non-Veterinary Behaviourist, is an appropriate time to recommend referral to a Veterinary Behaviourist.
    We talk about recognizing when usually successful strategies don't seem to work, time budgets that might be out of balance, initiating conversations about psychopharmacology, physical health contributors, access to VBs, and so much more!
     
    I absolutely loved chatting to Drew and I hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

    151 Arousal, Valence and links to Behavioural Signs and Treatment

    07/09/2026 | 25 mins.
    Episode 151 – Arousal, Valence and links to Behavioural Signs and Treatment
     
    This episode is inspired by a listener request for me to have a chat about emotional arousal, valence and how these relate to behavioural signs and treatment strategies.
    I love this topic, which is why I have designed a resource, which you can find in the Trinity Professional Guides E-Book, that talks about exactly this – The Canine and Feline Circumplex of Emotions.
     
    Here's what you'll learn:
    ·         Definitions of arousal and valence as they relate to Veterinary Behaviour Medicine and The Circumplex of Emotions.
    ·         Why this resource is a brilliant visual guide for Caregivers and Professionals alike.
    ·         How we can recognize extremes of arousal and valence and their impact on welfare and wellbeing.
    ·         Neurotransmitter considerations within this model.
    ·         How this model can guide our pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment choices.
     
     
    Find The Canine and Feline Circumplex of Emotions as well as many other useful resources in the Professional Guides E-Book here:

    150 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Claire Rhodes – B'Mod for Noise Fears

    31/08/2026 | 20 mins.
    Episode 150 – 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Claire Rhodes – B'Mod for Noise Fears
     
    Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!
    The rules of the game are as follows:
    ·         Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.
    ·         Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…
    ·         Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!
     
    In this episode, I chat to Veterinarian with a Special Interest in Behaviour, Dr Claire Rhodes, about non-psychopharmaceutical options for managing noise sensitivities and fears.
    Have a listen as we talk about using a comprehensive treatment approach, where desensitization and counter-conditioning fit in (or not!), always considering pain, and possible genetic and early life interventions.
     
    Here are the studies I talk about in the episode:
     
    Lopes Fagundes, A.L., Hewison, L., McPeake, K.J., Zulch, H. and Mills, D.S., 2018. Noise sensitivities in dogs: an exploration of signs in dogs with and without musculoskeletal pain using qualitative content analysis. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 5, p.17.
     
    Grigg, E.K., Chou, J., Parker, E., Gatesy-Davis, A., Clarkson, S.T. and Hart, L.A., 2021. Stress-related behaviors in companion dogs exposed to common household noises, and owners' interpretations of their dogs' behaviors. Frontiers in veterinary science, 8, p.760845.
     
    Riemer, S., 2023. Therapy and prevention of noise fears in dogs—A review of the current evidence for practitioners. Animals, 13(23), p.3664.
     
    I absolutely loved chatting to Claire, and I hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
