Manage episode 351114162 series 3178501
In this episode, Dr. E'Lise Christensen (DVM, DACVB) and Laura Rhodes share the story behind the evolution of Behavior Vets and why building resilience is our focus for helping animals and humans. We discuss:
- The value of building a community for behavioral care.
- The growth and evolution of Behavior Vets.
- Building a supportive and welcoming team culture builds resilience to adversity.
- "You are not alone" and supporting people through the toughest decision.
- Building resilience for animals and wanting it for people.
* Correction: There are less than 100 veterinary behaviorists certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists but there are some certified by other organizations internationally. There are probably less than 500 certified veterinary behaviorists worldwide.
* Correction: Dr. C meant to say she grew up next to a farm but not actually on one.
Dr. C's bio:
Dr. E’Lise Christensen (DVM, DACVB) is a board-certified veterinary behaviorist and an international lecturer and author. Dr. C received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 2002.
Dr C is always working on new ideas to support animals, families, trainers, and veterinary colleagues as they learn more about behavior and manage animals with behavioral disorders.
Laura's bio:
Laura, a Certified Fear Free™ Professional, is currently pursuing a BA in psychology and plans to study ethology in graduate school. She hopes to one day apply environmental enrichment strategies and animal psychology to improve the welfare of wild animals who have landed in captivity.
Laura found her passion for working with animals at a young age and in high school she began volunteering at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado. In pursuit of more hands-on experience, she landed in South Africa where she worked with cheetahs, tigers, elephants, and crocodiles and Costa Rica where she learned the process of rehabilitation and slow release of wildlife.
Back home, she worked in the client care department of Community Pet Hospital, a 24-hour emergency service for dogs and cats. Laura joined the team at Behavior Vets in 2018 as a Behavior Technician.
