Mindful March Conference - Debbie Betts - Pain in Dogs

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 18:00:00 +0000

On this edition of The Dog Experience podcast, we’re joined by Debbie Betts exclusively for the Mindful March conference being hosted in the Dog Experience Facebook group (link here).

Debbie is a Dynamic Dog Practitioner, a profession that specialises in identifying pain and discomfort in dogs to help with veterinary diagnosis’ and to eventually provide relief for reactive dogs.

After an eventful journey with her own dog, Sabre, led to her getting bitten in 2015, Debbie’s quest to help dogs with discomfort is nothing short of inspiring.

You’ll uncover an alarming statistic about the amount of reactive dogs with discomfort, some telltale signs that there might be something pain related going on with your dog, and why discomfort can play such a pivotal role in our dog’s reactivity.

Enjoy!

On today’s edition of The Dog Experience Podcast, I chat with Patterdale Terrier expert Emma Phillips. You might remember Emma Phillips from our in-depth chat on all things Terrier from Genetics Junefest (link to that interview here).

Brought into the dog world via a baptism of fire, courtesy of her two Patterdale Terrier littermate puppies, Emma’s experience have led her to undertake a Masters Degree in Animal Behaviour from the University of Edinburgh, run her successful training business Paw by Paw Dog Training and Behaviour, and seen her regularly compete in Competition Obedience and Agility.

We dissect some common issues that arise with Patterdale Terriers, unpack some of the exercises and concepts necessary to unsure their needs are met, and provide advice for both caregivers and professionals alike on how to work with this intense, but stunningly intelligent breed.
