Podcasts about human animal bond

We can feel like we put together a great plan for a pet's allergies, but if it doesn't happen then it doesn't matter. Instead of being frustrated about client compliance, how can we make it better? We have to consider the financial, physical and mental burden pet owners are going through when their pet is diagnosed with a chronic dermatologic disease. However, we must ASK what is possible... and not ASSUME. Check out some tips and tricks on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:25 Tips and Tricks to Increase Customer Compliance04:19 Thinking of the Customer's Financial Situation08:21 The Physical Aspect10:23 The Mental Aspect12:21 Have to Ask and NOT Assume14:51 Recognize that Things Change16:22 Summary

All Michelle Slater ever wanted was to have a dog of her own with whom she felt a special connection and bond.  And her German Shepherd, Brady, was that dog.  In fact, Michelle even started learning animal communication to enhance her connection with Brady – something that she kept to herself, concerned her fellow professors in academia wouldn't understand or would ridicule. However, after a rollercoaster of adventures, Brady was struck with a life-threatening illness at only 5 years old.  He spent months living at a vet hospital – where Michelle often slept on the floor next to him at night. Michelle again turns to animal communication to guide her – with Brady's input – to make the best decisions for his health during this scary time.  And Brady's profound messages are lessons for all of us. Exploring topics of grief, loss – both human and animal – and the human-animal bond, Michelle's book Soulmate Dog is part memoir and part essay.  If you've ever been curious about how people have viewed animal telepathy over the years, it's fascinating!

When Muffin, a little ball of fur with mischievous eyes, first claimed a corner of my heart, I never imagined where that love would lead. Now I'm joined by Kim Lengling, whose story mirrors the transformative power of companionship, not just with our four-legged friends but with those who share our human journey.  Kim, a vocal supporter of veterans and advocate for cats, delves into her life's narrative that wove together the threads of animal love and the resolve to aid those battling PTSD. Her poignant experiences, beginning with a childhood feline friend and extending to her advocacy for female veterans, are a testament to the healing that comes from caring – both given and received.  As we navigate the landscape of feline welfare and veteran support, the conversation blossoms into a rich exploration of community connections. We discuss the anticipation surrounding the 2024 online kitten conference and the imperative work of the Community Cat Clinic, a beacon of hope for TNR proponents and feline health.  Our chat culminates with a touching look at "Pawprints on the Couch," Kim's latest anthology that's been warming the hearts of readers and topping charts. It's a reminder of the deep bonds we share with our pets, and how these stories of love and loss resonate within us all. This episode is an open invitation to embrace storytelling's power to unite, inspire, and embolden us in the face of life's challenges.

Another military move in 2018 landed her in the Pensacola area and a new adventure as Hospital Administrator for a large multi-doctor mixed animal practice just over the state line in Alabama. This same year, she earned her CVPM and was also certified as a Compassion Fatigue Professional. A year later, she was named Practice Manager of the Year by DVM360 and the VHMA! Since then, she pushed herself a bit further, digging into her passion for innovation and leadership, obtaining several other certifications which include Human-Animal Bond, Fear Free Elite, and Neurocolor Trainer Certification! Over the last few years, she has expanded into multi-site clinic Operations in the Northeast. Molina has been a member of the VHMA since 2016 and a board member for since 2022.

The Human-Animal Bond. We've all seen it, even if we haven't realized it yet. Look around you, and in the course of a given day, I would bet that it's impossible not to see evidence of it somewhere. It's there in the gentle nudge of a dog waiting patiently for its owner outside a store, in the contented purr of a cat curled up on a sunny windowsill, and in the quiet companionship of a horse and rider silhouetted against the setting sun. It's power is felt in the shared happiness both that both dogs and pet owners derive from going on walks, or hikes, or ski adventures together. This bond transcends the simple acts of care and companionship; it's a profound connection that speaks to something deep within us all. It's a shared look of understanding, a comfort that needs no words, a mutual respect that grows over time. The human-animal bond is a testament to the empathy and kinship we are capable of, a reminder of our intrinsic need to connect with living beings, to give and receive affection, and to find joy in the presence of creatures different from ourselves. Describing the Human-Animal Bond in words is difficult, and that is why visual storytelling in Pet Care Marketing is so important. On the latest episode of Petworking, I was fortunate enough to host Mindy Dutka, Founder & Chief Storyteller at DogsIMeet.com. Mindy specializes in pet photography, especially dogs, and she estimates that she photographs thousands of dogs each year. Mindy and I talked about her work, and the emotional resonance that visuals can create. This can be leveraged by both animal advocacy organizations, e.g., shelters, pet brands, and other non-pet-related brands that recognize the power of the Human-Animal Bond, and incorporate it in their advertising. Mindy estimates that 50-60% of her work is brand-focused, 20-25% pro bono work for shelters, and 15-20% private photo shoots. However, Mindy likes to say that bridges the gap between professional dog photography and advocacy, and she is very adept at finding ways to incorporate adoption awareness in her work for brands. Mindy discussed how she leverages her photography as a medium to bring awareness to shelter dogs, and cited a specific example of a brand shoot she had done for a collaboration between Shameless Pets and Virgin Hotels. Virgin has pet-friendly rooms, and had partnered with Shameless Pets to provide a package of treats for all guests that checked in with a dog. However, instead of using of dog models for the shoot, Mindy suggested finding long-term shelter dogs and using them as the models. This initiative not only provided the dogs with much-needed exposure, but also played a role in their eventual adoption, showcasing the power of photography in advocacy. Because of visual storytelling's relevance to all aspects of the Pet Care ecosystem, Mindy and I had quite the far reaching conversation. Tune in to the full episode to hear us discuss: The mental and physical health benefits that both pets and pet parents derive from the Human-Animal Bond Use of the Human-Animal Bond in marketing by brands such as Subaru and Hyundai, and how non-pet-related brands leverage the human-animal bond to drive engagement and sales Senior dog adoptions, Mindy's work with shelters, and how pet brands are working with shelters to acquire new customers, while simultaneously supporting adoption Black Dog Syndrome - did you know that it's harder for black dogs to get adopted from shelters because they don't photograph well?

What to listen for:Living with a powerful, high-drive dog obviously has its set of challenges. That's even more true when sharing a household with multiple working dogs. In today's episode, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal open up about the realities of managing the day-to-day lives of dogs bred for work. They explain that drive expresses itself in dogs in a lot of ways owners don't expect. But no matter how messy or even violent the expression, we must avoid judging our furry friends by the standards of human morality.Our hosts share how they've been able to maintain a happy household where their dogs feel safe, and how they've navigated days in which almost everything seems to be going wrong. A lot of the work, they found, comes down to taking pressure off of yourself and refusing to slap a label on your dog (ex. “She's an angry dog/He's a nervous dog, etc.”).They remind us that the human-dog dynamic is ever-changing by the day, and that we must be aware and adaptable as owners in order to stay in control. Finally, we have to be willing to commit to a regular schedule of care, play, and training, because “it's not all happiness all the time. It's a daily crate and rotate. It's a routine and a responsibility.”Key Topics:Managing the day-to-day life of a dog bred for work (04:28)Caring for elderly dogs (09:31)Fulfilling your dog's needs (15:42)Seeing fights between dogs as teachable moments (19:44)Training, not running, your dogs every day (35:27)Setting boundaries for yourself (37:31)The importance of rest and having a support system (41:20)Knowing which combination of dogs don't work well (45:11)Acknowledging how a dog feels (49:05)Our takeaways (51:09)Resources:Michael ShikashioPredatory drift in dogsK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 56: Talking K9 Fitness with Bobbie LyonsK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 54: Canine Handler Fitness with Liz JoyceWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

What to listen for:Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal explain how being intentional with your handling helps accelerate your dog's understanding of your goals for them as a trainer!By “intentional handling,” our hosts refer to putting together a routine that creates consistency and predictability in your dog training. To them, clarity is kindness, and having intent in every training session builds a sense of expectation in your dog that gets them to the goal more efficiently.Ultimately, the two steps to intentional detection dog handling are to observe and adjust. “If you can observe and adjust before you do the thing,” say our hosts, “the thing will become more consistent.” Cycling through these steps helps trainers decide how, where, and when to use reinforcement, and how to correctly use cross-training to create a well-rounded dog.Key Topics:Being intentional with your handling (01:52)Clarity as kindness (07:11)Finding the rhythm of your training (15:33)Observation first (22:44)The difference between a lifeline and a cadaver dog (30:47)How your posture influences shaping training (39:24)It's not the excitement but the energy (44:04)Creating a well-rounded dog (48:17)Resources:K9 Detection Collaborative Jan 2023 RoundtableK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 42: Words Matter in Dog TrainingK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 4: Let's Talk FluencyK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 40: What Else We Do with Our DogsKees SeekHow Canines Hearts are in Sync with Ours‘Askers' vs. ‘Guessers'Distraction camp 2023sniffspot.comWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal sit down with special guest Amy Herot, co-founder of K9 Nose Work. Amy has over 20 years of experience under her belt as a trainer, handler, and educator. She has certified teams in Narcotics and Explosives and has logged over 1,500 instructional hours in detection dog training.Amy kicks off the conversation by sharing what drew her to the world of detection and how initial experiments with essential oils eventually led to the development of K9 Nose Work's methodology as it exists today.“We didn't say, ‘Let's create a dog sport.' We just said, ‘Let's create an outlet for dogs to have fun and for people to learn about this side of their dog.'” For Amy and her team, the community they created was dedicated to building who the dog is and encouraging our furry friends to bring us into their world in order to better understand and work with them.Listen in as Amy shares how to get the best out of Nose Work competitions by letting your dog be the star of the show, navigating competition nerves, knowing how best to work with a ‘reactive dog,' and using nosework to improve yourself holistically as a K9 trainer.Key Topics:Amy's background in detection work (01:54)The goal of K9 Nose Work (09:21)Behind the glamor of detection work (15:40)What's next for K9 Nose Work?

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal talk all things odor hygiene. A critical factor in ensuring that your dog is well-trained, odor hygiene includes knowing where and how to store your odor and how to keep your training aids as pristine as possible. Our hosts give their best advice on avoiding cross-contamination between odors in your containers, as well as between odors external to your training aids.They also talk about the importance of wearing gloves as a bomb dog or cadaver dog handler, and how often to change your gloves. According to our hosts, for even the most casual of trainers, such as those who do not participate in competitions, impeccable odor hygiene is still a foundational aspect of this work. To your dog, odor hygiene promotes clarity, which avoids confusion and, by extension, anxiety.“If you are not willing to do some of the fundamental things to participate in your sport or your calling, including odor hygiene, then maybe this line of work is not for you.”Key Topics:Why is odor hygiene important? (01:36)Odor hygiene for training versus for judging (04:47)Guarding against cross-contamination when using training aids (08:10)Giving your dog downtime and ensuring that odor stays as a motivation magnet (13:16)Transporting odor (14:26)Our hosts' preferred training aids and how best to freeze odor (21:10)How often to change gloves (27:10)The importance of wearing gloves for bomb dog and cadaver dog handlers (30:50)Cleaning your training aids (33:30)Why thorough odor hygiene is important even for more “casual” trainers (40:14)Closing thoughts (51:14)Resources:SciK9 Precision Explosives K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 9: Canines as the Original Biosensor & Odor/Scent Chemistry with Dr. Lauryn DeGreeffZero Odor spray, Cloud 10 case, Pelican, Harbor Freight Apache cases, Nitrile glovesWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!You can follow us for notifications of upcoming episodes, find us at k9detectioncollaborative.com to enjoy the freebies and tell your friends so you can keep the conversations going.

Today's episode is the last in a four-part series featuring animal behavior specialist and dog trainer Jo-Rosie Haffenden. While Jo-Rosie believes in having a “pyramid of learning” when it comes to working with any dog, and that it should all start with positive reinforcement, she warns against putting too much focus on one training method or philosophy at the expense of others.She says that confining oneself to a label limits your potential as a handler, especially considering the reality that different dogs (including those of the same breed) require different tools and approaches. Jo-Rosie also discusses how to reconcile your ethical paradigm with your training methodology as well as her thoughts on punishment.Our hosts give their thoughts on force-free training and why competence does not necessarily mean not using force. Instead, they believe that it is important to base your philosophy on a “continuum” that you navigate based on your particular dog's personality and needs.Key Topics:Why begin all training with positive reinforcement (01:23)Looking past your trainer labels and avoiding overemphasis on one tool or method (06:33)Ethical considerations around certain training approaches (18:12)Why using force isn't a sign of incompetency (26:57)Regularly asking yourself why you adhere to a specific method or philosophy (34:52)Being fair with your animals, and being a force-free trainer (37:20)Punishing your dog (45:29)Training on a continuum (55:57)Resources:Submit your question to be answered in our next episode!The Dog Training Spectrum (Pat Stuart)Version of Dog Training Spectrum Visual (Crystal and Jo-Rosie)Another Version of Dog Training Spectrum Visual (Crystal and Jo-Rosie)Sara Breuske Puppy Training PlanPosiDogCultural Norms: The Limiting Factor (Scentsabilities Nosework)Chirag PatelPremack PrincipleEpisode 1 of 4 in the series: Getting to Know Jo-Rosie Haffenden from the School of Canine Science --- Episode 2 of 4: Jo-Rosie and Incentive Salience Theory --- Episode 3 of 4 in the series: Jo-Rosie Introduces Selective DriveWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!You can follow us for notifications of upcoming episodes, find us at k9detectioncollaborative.com to enjoy the freebies and can keep the conversations going.

Today's episode is the third in a four-part series featuring animal behavior specialist and dog trainer Jo-Rosie Haffenden. She discusses selective drive, a concept that explores the modification of behaviors closely linked to the predatory action sequence, which itself is a group of behaviors with roots in food acquisition.“The predatory action sequence is the house that dogs are built on,” says Jo-Rosie. Because of this, she says that it's vital for any trainer to understand this sequence in order to create a strategy around the modification of natural behaviors. After hearing from Jo-Rosie, our hosts speak on how to train for selective drive depending on the breed and unique personality of your dog. They stress the importance of knowing your specific dog's preferences, and tapping into their desires during play sequences to reinforce desired behaviors.Key Topics:About selective drive (01:14)Why it's important to understand the predatory action sequence before retraining behavior (11:25)The relationship between dopamine and selective drive (14:18)Trusting your dog's natural behaviors (18:21)Breaking down the predatory action sequence (19:51)Behavioral differences in various breeds and how your training style plays a role (23:42)Considerations around novelty mixed-breed (designer) dogs (31:57)Tailoring play around the predatory action sequence (37:40)Adding variety to your training (42:43)Getting toy-focused dogs to seek out food more often (50:06)Resources:School of Canine ScienceEpisode 1 of 4 in the series with Jo-Rosie: Getting to Know Jo-Rosie Haffenden from the School of Canine ScienceEpisode 2 of 4 in the series with Jo-Rosie: Jo-Rosie and Incentive Salience TheoryPremack PrincipleJo-Rosie on FacebookHunting Together: Harnessing Predatory Chasing in Family Dogs through Motivation-Based Training (Predation Substitute Training)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Today's guest is Dr. Lauren Smith, relief veterinarian and founder of the Vetitude. I recently read a blog post of hers that made me reach right out and invite her on the podcast. The post was titled "Let's Not Forget About the Human-Animal Bond" whereby she exposed a mindset that the client's needs are secondary to the pet's. She makes the case that what is good for the client is most often also good for the pet and how to be more accommodating towards the client's needs.  You can follow Dr. Smith on these social channels: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thevetitude IG https://www.instagram.com/thevetitude/ Also, check out the blog post we discuss in this episode: https://thevetitude.com/lets-not-forget-about-the-human-animal-bond/

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal sit down to reflect on their five-day experience teaching at Distraction Camp 2022.Describing the camp as an opportunity to learn how to train your dog, they break down the various lessons taught over the course of five days. These include the strategy of sculpting your dog's behavior via odor and hide placement, and introducing new aspects of play to enhance how your dog works through distractions.Our hosts emphasize the importance of trusting your training beyond trusting only your dog. They encourage handlers to get comfortable with simply giving their dog a job, because when they have a job, the dog makes better choices. Without expectations, a dog can only guess.Further, they explain that the idea of using play to curb distractions is so powerful because it takes away from a task becoming another “job” for the dog and turns the entire experience into something they love. Creating reinforcing experiences is, ultimately, the best way to eliminate distractions.Key Topics:Using odor placement to sculpt your dog (06:34)Keys to engagement (08:12)What was used to distract the dogs (15:05)The transformation from Day 1 to Day 5 (19:54)Using doodle notes to retain more information (23:19)How to train your dog (without tests) (28:59)Gaining different perspectives (34:33)Creating reinforcing experiences (37:25)The outs are expensive (43:08)Why you shouldn't just “trust your dog” (45:19)Final takeaways (49:36)Resources:K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 11: The D's of Detection WorkNina Russell (Instructor for Inspire 2022)Doodle NotesSciK9Sexier than a Squirrel ChallengeWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.
