Dr Findy Wills started as a small animal veterinarian in Newcastle after graduating from the University of Sydney with first class honours. She has been servicing the area for the past 14 years. She is currently based in Central Coast and is enjoying everything the region has to offer.  During her time as a small animal clinician, she found her clients were often in need of answers for their pets' behaviour problems. Seeing first-hand the end result of untreated mental health disorders in animals sparked her commitment to further her studies in animal behaviour with the University of Edinburgh, UK in 2017.  She currently holds a Masters degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour and has a particular interest in human-animal relationships and trauma-informed care. ollow the links below to learn more and to learn more about the show itself.

I personally got the pleasure of meeting Dr Wills at a conference in Sydney and instantly gravitated towards her approach. We have since worked together and shared ideas and the more I did the more I realised how much this incredible person has to bring our industry.

In this episode we discuss both of our approaches to supporting our clients and their dogs, emotional reulgation being at the core of what we are both trying to achieve.

Dr Findy Wills is currently the resident behaviour veterinarian for Lets Talk Paws based in the Central Coast of NSW and works as an advisor and with behavioural cases for the RSPCA. To learn more about her work and the show itself, follow the links below.

This is something that affects hundreds of thousands of people around the world and fortunately is one of the most studied topics in our industry. 

Moira is an expert in this field, working with people and pet professionals across the globe so I picked her brain on topics such as prevention, diagnosis and resolution.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers episode.

Somehow, this topic seems to have been so discussed and over thought that it's become a messy topic and you'll get a different opinion from most people you ask. There's some fear mongering out there and there's some wreckless people not making any considerations and both are equally unhelpful. So, we unpack it and highlight the considerations to make when choosing whether or not to give your dog a bone.

Mike Shikashio is one of the leading experts in our industry when it comes to dog aggression. So getting the chance to sit down, pick his brain and ask him questions on this topic was fascinating for me.

We discuss a wide range of things but always bringing it back to aggression and as a result I believe that anyone wanting to gain an insight into how to approach training an aggressive dog and everything that goes on in making the necessary considerations can take a lot from this episode.

So, listen in and let us know what you think.

Dominique Hone of Canine Caregivers joins me again for another Canine Caregivers special.

Dom and I have sat down and had hundreds of conversations about dog training and dogs in general over the years so we started recording them.

We don't really sugar coat things when we're together and we try to talk about technical things that matter to us as professionals and that are in reality equally important to dog guardians and caregivers but are probably less well known about.

You'll see a trend in these episodes as they begin to come out in that we  are often trying to answer a commonly asked questions to us in our roles as behaviour consultants

Matt Beisner only went and joined me on the podcast! 

That alone made my week, let alone my day.

This episode and conversation was an absolute privilege to have as we spoke about the big picture of pet ownership and the concept of dog training.

We cover a wide range of topics and as ever Matt is considered in his answers, deep in his analysis and raises some points well worth listening to.

Matt made his name in the public eye with his TV show "Dog Impossible" which is available on Disney but has earned his stripes as a well respected professional in our industry with numerous qualifications and a well known for his approach to ultimately meeting the needs of both the human and their dogs and improving the quality of life as a whole.

I really enjoyed this conversation and could have kept going for many hours. I'd love to hear what you think too, so have a listen and leave your comments.
