137 Interoception – The 8th Sense 01.06.2026 28mEpisode 137 – Interoception – The 8th Sense This episode was inspired by the 3rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour. During this conversation, the idea of Interoception was spoken about, and I thought it would be a GREAT topic to dive into! Interoception is one of the 3 "Hidden Senses" and is essentially a sensory system that provides a dialogue between the brain and the inside of the body. In this episode you will learn: 1. What Interoception is and how it fits in with the other 7 senses. 2. How altered Interoception can affect our patients. 3. How to apply treatment and therapy strategies to improve Interoception. I really hope you find this episode valuable and that it gives you food for thought when assessing your own Behaviour Patients!

136 Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis 25.05.2026 39mEpisode 136 – Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis I am always talking about bridging the gap between Veterinary Professionals and great non-Veterinary Professionals and encouraging more collaborative ways of working to best serve our patients and their families. So, when I heard that Charlotte runs a Cooperative Care Service at her local Veterinary Practice, provides CPD to the Vets at the practice as well as educational classes to the practice's clients, I just knew I had to chat to her to find out more! In this episode, Charlotte and I chat about the benefits of Cooperative Care and Gentle Handling for the patients, the caregivers and the veterinary teams, and the kinds of cases that could benefit most from these approaches. Charlotte also provides some really simple, easy and effective tools for helping patients feel safer in the veterinary practice – tools that anyone working in most practices can easily learn and implement! We round up the podcast with an emotional conversation about the things Charlotte has learned from the veterinary team at the practice – resilience, a desire to show up no matter how big the emotional strain and a true love and commitment to the profession and the patients they serve – which left us both a little teary! This is one you'll definitely not want to miss ! If you'd like to learn more about reducing Fear and Stress at the Veterinary Clinic, then my brand new Masterclass – "The 4 Pillars of reducing Fear and Stress at the Veterinary Clinic" is just the thing for you: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/four-pillars You can find Charlotte at www.cannycaninesuk.com and on social media @cannycaninesuk If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!

128 Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency 31.03.2026 24mEpisode 128 – Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency The last 4 weeks of our lives here in Abu Dhabi have been interesting to say the least. Being under constant threat from Iranian missiles and hearing the loud "booms" of the interceptors taking care of them has been like nothing I have experienced before. Living in this state of unrest really got me thinking about what we take for granted – the feeling of safety and predictability in our everyday lives and being able to live with a sense of control, choice and agency. I also know that this is not the case for many of my patients. Living in a constant state of fear or anxiety with little predictability of the environment and/or social relationships can be hugely debilitating and will affect quality of life, wellbeing and welfare. There are some really easy ways to introduce more of these important welfare factors into your pets' and patients' lives and I chat you through some of my favourite ways of doing so. All it takes is to make some small changes to implement these foundational needs!

126 The Trinity Treatment Plan Template 17.03.2026 15mEpisode 126 – The Trinity Treatment Plan Template I created this Treatment Plan Template to help keep me focused and organized during consultations and to ensure that I didn't miss a thing when writing my comprehensive report for my caregivers. Based on the "7 M" approach to creating Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plans, this template covers all the bases, ensures you don't overwhelm caregivers with too much information while still providing a comprehensive treatment strategy. I love resources like this one and I wish I had had it sooner, for example during my residency when I was often seeing 3 initial consultations per day and was sometimes overwhelmed with all the information to remember and digest! You can find the Trinity Treatment Plan Template in a number of different places: 1. As part of the "Designing a beautiful Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan" Masterclass right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/treatment-plans 2. As part of the "Professional Guides" E-Book right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook 3.

125 Behaviour and Thyroid Disease 10.03.2026 38mEpisode 125 – Behaviour and Thyroid Disease This is a big topic, and I really enjoyed diving into it. I think we can all agree that the outdated notion that low thyroid hormone levels in dogs directly causes aggression is exactly that – outdated. However, changes or dysregulation in thyroid hormone levels in both dogs and cats can still affect behaviour and this is what I chat about in this episode. Here are some of the things I mention in the episode: · The differences in canine and feline thyroid disease · Causes of hypothyroidism in dogs · Incidence of hypothyroidism in the canine population · Hormone cascade regulation · Clinical signs of hypothyroidism and how these can affect behaviour I also talk about the complexities of diagnosis of thyroid disease and how this can be influenced by certain medications. Here are the studies I reference in the episode: Gulikers, K.P. and Panciera, D.L., 2003. Evaluation of the effects of clomipramine on canine thyroid function tests. Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 17(1), pp.44-49. Radosta, L.A., Shofer, F.S. and Reisner, I.R., 2012. Comparison of thyroid analytes in dogs aggressive to familiar people and in non-aggressive dogs. The Veterinary Journal, 192(3), pp.472-475.

122 Canine Sociability with Daniel Shaw 17.02.2026 45mEpisode 122 – Canine Sociability with Daniel Shaw Dogs are social creatures and the need for social connection and social experiences as well as the lack of those can sometimes result in unwanted behavioural presentations. In this super-cool episode, Daniel and I chat about: · The difference between fear or panic when dogs are separated from social partners and frustration at lacking or hampered social interactions with other dogs and the neurobiological systems that underlie both of these scenarios! · Social buffering and how this can really help some dogs that are perhaps fearful or anxious. · How we can help dogs adapt better to differing social demands. · Differing attachment styles and how these can impact social confidence and security. · A case I saw the same day as the recording that posed a number of challenges from a canine sociability point of view. Daniel and I are both really interested in the neurobiological and neurobiochemical underpinnings of behaviour and, dare I say it, can totally geek out about the brain processes that underlie behaviour as well as how we can practically apply this to our cases. If you're in any way interested in canine social behaviour, neurobiology and treatment approaches of some of the socially motivated behavioural challenges we see in our canine patients, this episode is a must-listen! If you'd like to learn more about Canine Behaviour, then my "Learn To Speak Dog" course is for you: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/learn-to-speak-dog And if you'd like to find out more about Daniel's amazing work in the "Brain and Behaviour Academy" you can find out more right here: https://www.brainandbehaviouracademy.co.uk/ or https://www.brainandbehaviouracademy.co.uk/bundles/brain-and-behaviour-plus If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!

120 Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon 03.02.2026 25mEpisode 120 – Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon One of the questions I get asked most frequently is how, if you are suspicious that your patient may be experiencing pain or discomfort, to relay this suspicion to the pet's GP vet or caregiver. Oftentimes, we see something during a consultation – a change in capability, posture, gait or behaviour – that makes us think there may be an underlying physical health challenge for our patient. But convincing GP vets or caregivers of the same can be challenging and frustrating. That is why, when I saw Dr Hannah Capon present her "Suspicion of Chronic Pain" document at one of the conferences we attended together last year, I had a light bulb moment of "this is exactly what we need". In this episode, Hannah and I chat about how the resource came into existence, how we like to use it and we highlight all the different scenarios this document might be so valuable in. It is important to note that this is not a validated tool, but rather an amazing, easy-to-use resource to be scribbled on during consultations and then presented to whomever needs to see it – be it caregiver or GP vet. It is also an incredible teaching tool to demonstrate that a patient is in pain or discomfort, and exactly which signs are raising red flags for us. I honestly wouldn't be without it anymore and I have it on my desk for literally ALL of my consultations – canine and feline. This amazing resource is included in Trinity's Professional Guides E-Book, which you can purchase right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook And, you can, of course find it in CAM's MemberZone: www.caninearthritis.co.uk If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!
