If you are a birth worker, such as a doula, midwife, lactation consultant or night nurse, who sees clients in their own homes, there is a very good chance that you will interact with family pets. Because families are hiring you to help them ease their transition into new parenthood, their pets (dogs, in particular) will play a large part into the new family dynamic. And let's be honest - they are hiring you because you are a baby expert...not because you are a dog expert. And why should you be? But the truth of the matter is that you may notice some unsafe behavior in the family dog that worries you about the future safety of the new baby...and the sanity of the new parents. In this podcast episode, I discuss what red flags to look for in dogs before baby comes home, and what to do if you are concerned about dog and baby safety.Dog Red Flags for In-Home Birth WorkersDownload this free guide outlining which red flags in dogs dogs might ultimately impact dog and baby safety: https://poochparenting.net/baby-professionals/If your client says: "my dog doesn't like kids.""my dog is reactive and I am worried about his response to baby""our dog has a bite history.""I wish I understood my dog better.""I'm worried our dog will be jealous / overprotective of the new baby."If YOU feel unsafe around the dog at any point working with this family, entering their home, or even when you get up to leaveIf the dog currently sleeps in your client's bed or in the room where the baby will be sleepingWhat to do if parents need extra supportRefer out to a dog and child specialist, such as me at Pooch Parenting.Sometimes, dogs need medical support in order to make more progress with issues like anxiety and fear. Working in combination with me and a veterinary behaviorist can often offer the relief families and their dogs need to provide a safe environment for baby to thrive.The Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland, Oregon is an excellent option for veterinary behavior support.

Today's episode is all about separation anxiety in dogs. This is absolutely one of the most common reasons that folks might reach out to a dog behavior professional for help. It's also one of the issues that can be truly one of the most stressful (and sometimes feel debilitating) and can have a big negative impact on welfare on both ends of the leash. Despite it being a really common issue, separation anxiety is often a little bit misunderstood when it comes both to the factors that can contribute to why it's happening in the first place and also the ways to treat it or help improve it. So today we are very privileged to be joined by a powerhouse guest lineup to help us clear up some of these misconceptions about separation anxiety and share with listeners more about what it really is, why it happens, and paths to move forward.We discuss:- What is Separation Anxiety (and what it isn't)- Causes of Separation Anxiety (perceived and actual)- Prevalence in Separation Anxiety in companion dogs- Treatment/Intervention options - Common derailers of progress- Success rates and timelines- How to get startedGuests:- Malena DeMartini-Price is renowned in the dog training world for her expertise in dog separation anxiety issues.

Today's Topic:  Some might say that anxiety is THE malady of our hyper-connected always-on world.   But what can you do when you find that your dog is suffering from anxiety as well, and more importantly, what can you do about it?  And what can we learn about how anxiety works in the brains of our dogs, and what medical and behavioral professionals do to manage that anxiety in our dogs, to figure out how we can manage the anxiety that many of us suffer from in our own lives?  That's why we've invited board-certified veterinary behaviorist and the owner and lead clinician at the Animal Behavior Clinic, Dr. Chris Pachel, to the pod, to discuss what a veterinary behaviorist is and does, the difference between fear and anxiety, whether anxiety stems from nature vs. nurture, why predictability, consistency and control are so vital when treating anxious dogs, and so much more!Guest Bio: Dr. Chris Pachel is a board-certified veterinary behaviorist and is the owner and lead clinician at the Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland, Oregon.

The Maremma guardian dog has been guarding livestock for centuries in the Old World ... and now protects Little Penguins on an Australian island. And as America prepares for the 245th Fourth of July celebration, we should also prepare our dogs. The Penguin Protectors The Little Penguin is the tiniest of flightless swimmers ... just a foot tall, and a beautiful fairy blue. On Middle Island, just off the coast of Australia, the local foxes terrorize the teensy birds during breeding season ... at least, they used to. From an original colony of 502 birds, by 2005 there were only 10 Little Penguins left on the island. A clever chicken farmer suggested using Maremma sheepdogs to guard the birds -- and it worked. Within a few years, the colony was growing in number in the watchful care of the large white Italian dogs. The program is so successful that they are now thinking of using it to protect bandicoots. This Old World breed has a long history of guarding flocks and loving work. No wonder we turn to them now as the perfect symbol of awareness and conservation. Tips for Dogs & Fireworks Humans have celebrated military victories with fireworks for centuries. Meanwhile, the whistles and bangs and blinding technicolor pyrotechnics have driven dogs nuts. They don't experience fun ... they suffer, and too often, run scared. The number of dogs who go missing zooms higher on occasions marked by fireworks. This weekend is the Fourth of July in the United States, and dogs will have to tolerate the intolerable. How can we help them? We talk to folks with firsthand knowledge about how to help dogs handle the "celebration."

She teaches about marine ecology, marine and coastal ecosystems, and human impacts on the marine environment at Deakin University in Australia. The Middle Island Maremma Project began in 2006 when fox predation resulted in a sharp decline in the size of the colony of Little Penguins on Middle Island. The large white sheepdogs were first trained to protect the penguins some years ago, in a world first trial. Two of the dogs have been credited with saving the endangered colony, bringing it back from the brink.

We have a special treat for you today; world-renowned veterinary behaviorist and lecturer, Dr. Chris Pachel has joined us to discuss a sometimes confusing topic; medical issues and how they can cause or contribute to behavior issues.The more experience one gets with behavior and training, the more and more it becomes evident that some behavior issues are related to a seemingly unrelated medical issue. But here’s the thing; just like chronic or acute pain, or inflammation, or UTIs, or hormonal problems, or neurochemical imbalances, etc, can cause people to be more irritable, depressed, or even sometimes aggressive, the same thing can happen to our dogs. Not only that, but the only way they can communicate this to us is through body language or aggression to allow us to know how they are feeling. And this communication can be so subtle that it can take an expert in canine body language (or even medical diagnostic tests) to get to the bottom of it.Thankfully Dr. Pachel helps us understand the situations where a veterinarian or veterinary behaviorist (or other veterinary specialists) may need to be brought in, and how you can best help your veterinarian understand your concerns, and ensure that they have the right information for them to help you and your dog move forward.Guest: Dr. Christopher PachelDr. Christopher Pachel, DVM, DACVB, CABC received his veterinary degree from the University of MN in 2002 and became board certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists in 2010.

Owners and exhibitors of the social butterflies in the dog world, understand the frustration of competing in performance events with a dog who wants to visit with the course setter or bird planter instead of continuing their task. Dr. Pierce provides outstanding insight in to understanding the dog’s mindset in these situations. “When the dog is overly excited, he literally can’t hear the command,” Pierce said. Once she rules out a medical condition, she wants to identify a trigger and then use the environment to *benefit* the dog instead of distracting them. Managing the dog’s environment so it doesn’t “use up” impulse control or so it is well conditioned to the chaos, depends on the dog. This requires the owner to find the “best level of arousal for that individual for that sport.” PAIGE PIERCE, MS, DVM Dr. Pierce graduated with a BS in Zoology from Michigan State University, and moved to College Station, TX, to pursue graduate work in animal behavior and genetics. Upon completing her Master’s degree, she moved to Oregon – not because she had a job lined up, but because she knew this was where she wanted to live. She worked for Oregon Fish and Wildlife for a few years, met her future husband there, and then made a slight shift in career path. She attended OSU’s School of Veterinary Medicine, and has been providing medical care for dogs and cats in Portland since 1997. In general practice, she’s found that her ongoing fascination with animal cognition, communication and emotional health allows her to help clients with pets who have anxieties and/or concerning behaviors. Her particular areas of interest are reducing the stress and fear that so many dogs and cats experience with vet visits, and trouble-shooting issues that crop up for performance dogs. Dr. Pierce joined the Animal Behavior Clinic as a part-time clinician in 2017. https://animalbehaviorclinic.net/about/ (https://animalbehaviorclinic.net/about/) Support this podcast
