Pet Chats with the APBC The Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors

Parrot Specialist Elaine Henley joins us for this Pet Chat, where we discuss parrot behaviour and how to minimise behaviour issues like chewing. Elaine shares her personal experience of living with parrots, and her expertise in working through destructive issues that might arise. We talk about wing clipping, chewing, freedom and how to give the best choices, as well as wonderful stories all about life with parrots. This is not to be missed!

Lauren Greasley, full APBC member, joins us for this honest and open chat about what it really feels like when going through a big life change. In Lauren’s case, her big life change was bringing home a new baby and how it felt to really go through this as a behaviourist. She shares all the things she has learnt along the way as a behaviourist for some practical tips, as well as her own experience. We also talk about bringing home new pets and other changes that we can all take account of with our pet’s behaviour.

We talk about the truth behind dog bites here.



Dog bites are always a difficult topic, so we are incredibly lucky to have Professor Carri Westgarth on this Pet Chat episode. We discuss the cause of dogs biting, what you should do if you are bitten or your dog bites someone, and steps you can take to reduce the risk of a dog bite. We also discuss the topic of banning certain dog breeds and things to consider about this topic. 



Carri works full time in research and  teaching at the University of Liverpool School of Veterinary Science. Find Carri at the Westgarth Anthrozoology Group https://www.facebook.com/waglab/ and the Merseyside Dog Safety Partnership https://merseydogsafe.co.uk/
