Description

UK veterinarian Grace and I talk about her Romanian Rescue dog Piper and how being the guardian of a challenging dog has impacted her work as a veterinarian.What were the advantages she had, being a vet already, in dealing with her dog?We also talk about all the terms and certifications being thrown around that relate to animal behavior and training. Are there vet behaviorists in the UK? Who can call themselves that?Did you know you can do a master's level studies in animal behavior in the UK?But also, did you know many veterinarians have not been taught about dog body language in vet school?How does she start the conversation about behavior with dog guardians who may be oblivious to the plight of their dog?And what about ruling out pain? Turns out that you as the guardian are the person in the best position to notice if chronic pain is an issue.

Sharing stories of force-free dog training journeys with challenging, reactive and aggressive dogs and the impact living with those dogs has on our daily lives and our mental health. I hope that hearing these stories can help to make people feel less alone. We love our dogs to pieces but sometimes it's hard and then it's simply nice to hear from others going through something similar. This podcast is about us trying to teach our dogs, but more importantly, it's about what our dogs are teaching us.Find the show notes at https://kajsavanoverbeek.com/ruff-around-the-edges-podcast/
