Lauren Novack ACDBC, KPA-CTP, FPPE

This is a great episode where I get the chance to chat with a fellow behavior consultant about, well, a whole bunch of topics! Lauren Novack from Behavior Vets joins me in a fantastic conversation where we go down rabbit holes in applied behavior analysis, consent-based training, trauma in dogs, and a whole lot of other behavior geekery.

She creates custom behavior intervention plans for dogs (and their people) who have been diagnosed with neophobia, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, various types of aggression, and separation anxiety. In addition to her work with private clients, Lauren offers webinars on various applied behavior analysis topics to animal behavior professionals for Behavior Vets and professional organizations.

After finishing all coursework and accruing 360 supervised hours working with human kiddos, she is one thesis away from her M.S. in ABA. Her research focuses on the intersection between animal welfare and evidence based behavior interventions for companion animals.
