Episode 140 – 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Sharon Jones – Dogs and Car Journeys

Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!

The rules of the game are as follows:

· Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.

· Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…

· Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!

In this episode, I chat to Canine Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, Sharon Jones, about the challenges of working through cases where dogs show fear- or stress behaviours on car journeys.

How do we know if this is a physical health concern (nausea or pain), fear or anxiety, fear learning, anticipatory excitement, frustration or something else?

And, how do we start unpicking behaviours to find the emotional motivation and behavioural drivers?

Have a listen as we chat through different thoughts and approaches, which medications may be useful and the discussions we have about this topic on the ACVB List serve.

One of my passion projects – and indeed the topic of my residency research – is stress management during air travel in pets and while air- and car travel are different in some respects, they also share a LOT of commonalities.

Here's a link to my review paper on Feline Stress Management during Air Travel, which I mention in the episode, and, of course, so much of this information can be extrapolated to dogs too !
