Episode 62 – Deep Dive into The Veterinary Behaviour Consultation

Join me for a deep dive into some of the unique aspects of The Veterinary Behaviour Consultation and learn more about some of the really useful skillsets required to dig deep and really help bring about behaviour change.

Here are some of the things you’ll take away from this episode:

1. How to remove some of the barriers that might be holding you back from offering behaviour consultations in YOUR practice.

2. That behaviour consultations don’t have to be super lengthy in order to make a difference to your client and patient.

3. How a really short and simple questionnaire can prompt your clients to talk about behaviour problems during routine veterinary visits.

4. Why sensitivity, compassion, deep listening and thoughtful questioning are essential skills in any consultation.

5. How to ensure you meet your client’s desired outcomes while still focusing on the global health and welfare of your patient.

I really hope this episode gives you some food for thought and some inspiration to perhaps build mental and emotional healthcare into your everyday practice.

Here are the resources I mention during the episode (and where you can find that super short and simple questionnaire):
