When it comes to cycling in rural areas, there is a chance you may cross paths with dogs..most likely livestock guardian dogs. How do you know if they are aggressive? What happens if you get bit? We join two different perspectives – a K-9 officer and a veterinarian with a background in canine behavior. Glen Scruggs, a retired Oregon police officer has worked in the field for 27 years, 7 of which were with a K-9 provides perspectives on the laws and legal matters surrounding canine bites. Dr. Chris Pachel who is a veterinarian working in the behavior space for the last 20 years shares insights into canine body language, territorial instincts, and how to prepare yourself as a cyclist passing by.
Who is to blame for the lack of behavioral medicine in our veterinary education system? Certainly NOT the Amys! In this episode, the Amys tackle the state of veterinary behavior medicine education in North America with their colleague, Dr. Chris Pachel, DACVB. Dr. Chris educates veterinary students and veterinarians around the globe on behavior medicine, so why is there still such bad advice coming out of the mouths of our veterinarian friends and colleagues? What are we to do about that? Can trainers and clients even trust what their vet says about behavior?

Tune in as they expertly navigate this conversation by validating the pet owners while shedding light on potential medical conditions driving Caliente’s actions.
Relaxing on command is difficult for people, not to mention for dogs and cats. When we and our pets are naturally inclined to always be doing something—working, listening, even just thinking—turning off and relaxing can be difficult. But it is possible, and conditioning a relaxation response can have widespread applications for veterinary professionals and pet owners.
In today’s episode, veterinary behaviorist Dr. Christopher Pachel offers a teaser into the “magic” of conditioned relaxation: What it is, why it’s useful, and how to go about achieving it in animals. It is one of 12 topics he’ll be covering at the 2024 Midwest Veterinary Conference. We also talk about how people’s everyday stress can impact their animals, how separation anxiety has shifted in the post-COVID world, and where medications come into the equation. He’ll also share insights into the sticky topic of rehoming an aggressive animal versus behavioral euthanasia.

He and I really dig into what setting boundaries within your business can and should look like, how that can help provide more clarity not only to your clientele but also to how YOU would like your business to look 5,10,20 years down the road.
When we think of trainers, behaviorists, behavior consultants that we see speaking as conferences and the like...we often form this thought that "Clearly, they have it altogether because they are successful, they wear so many hats they're obviously not getting burnt out like I am." When in reality, it's a matter of hitting all the same struggles we do and then, learning how to set up our antecedents better so that we don't keep encountering the same struggles and cycles of burn out.
Today's episode is all about separation anxiety in dogs. This is absolutely one of the most common reasons that folks might reach out to a dog behavior professional for help. It's also one of the issues that can be truly one of the most stressful (and sometimes feel debilitating) and can have a big negative impact on welfare on both ends of the leash.
Despite it being a really common issue, separation anxiety is often a little bit misunderstood when it comes both to the factors that can contribute to why it's happening in the first place and also the ways to treat it or help improve it.
So today we are very privileged to be joined by a powerhouse guest lineup to help us clear up some of these misconceptions about separation anxiety and share with listeners more about what it really is, why it happens, and paths to move forward.
We discuss:
- What is Separation Anxiety (and what it isn't)
- Causes of Separation Anxiety (perceived and actual)
- Prevalence in Separation Anxiety in companion dogs
- Treatment/Intervention options
- Common derailers of progress
- Success rates and timelines
- How to get started

When we get a dog, we generally expect to fall madly in love and experience this instant, one-of-a-kind connection with them. But what happens when you and your dog just don’t mesh? How do you form a positive relationship with a dog who you - truthfully - just don’t like very much?
In today's episode, we tackle this semi-taboo topic to explore the reasons WHY you may find yourself disliking your current dog, and what you can do to build (or rebuild) a positive bond.

Some might say that anxiety is THE malady of our hyper-connected always-on world. But what if you find that your dog is suffering from anxiety as well, and more importantly, what can you do about it? And what can we learn about how anxiety works in the brains of our dogs, and what medical and behavioral professionals do to manage that anxiety in our dogs, to figure out how we can manage the anxiety that many of us suffer from in our own lives? That's why we've invited board-certified veterinary behaviorist and the owner and lead clinician at the Animal Behavior Clinic, Dr. Chris Pachel, to the pod, to discuss what a veterinary behaviorist is and does, the difference between fear and anxiety, whether anxiety stems from nature vs. nurture, why predictability, consistency and control are so vital when treating anxious dogs, and so much more!
In episode 47 of the Paws & Reward Podcast, Dr. Chris Pachel and I talk about The Humane Hierarchy for both our dogs and their people. The Humane Hierarchy is a framework that trainers, behavior consultants, and veterinary behaviorists use when working with their clients. It’s an ethical approach, inviting professionals to develop a behavior modification plan rooted in least intrusive, minimally aversive options.
Since I love listening to Chris explain these concepts, I knew he’d be the perfect guest for the show. Especially since he’s a co-founder of LIMA beings with me! As we discuss each step of the Humane Hierarchy, we provide examples of what it would look like in real life. Watch our conversation on my YouTube Channel.
This episode features veterinary behaviourist Dr Chris Pachel who I speak to about the interaction between health and behaviour problems.
