How to prevent noise phobias in dogs
|
Hi Reader, You’ve perhaps already seen on social media that we’ve got a lovely little sheltie pup (if not, check out my instagram page - link below)! We’re really enjoying spending time together and he is incredibly cute and incredibly fast. It also amazes me to see how much pee and poo comes out of such a tiny little thing, but that's a story for another day. What I wanted to discuss is that this breed is quite sensitive to sounds and noise phobias are a real risk. I'm running a prevention protocol now based on what the science says about what we can do to prevent sound sensitivity early in life. I've made a short podcast for you about this on YouTube so click on the link below and see what the science has to say about prevention. I'm also going to show you a brief example of what we're doing the moment.
If you are a professional and you want the full framework for noise phobias, then sign up for the wait list for my noise phobia course. The course will open up soon and then you'll be the first to receive all the info + a nice bonus that will help you work more effectively with owners.
Cheers, Dr. Else |

Hey Reader, Het is inmiddels bijna september. En ik hoor nu al van mensen dat het geknal aan het toenemen is. Ongeveer de helft van alle honden is bang voor vuurwerk of andere harde geluiden, zoals onweer, pistoolschoten of verkeer. Een klein deel van deze honden heeft zelfs een fobie. Dat betekent dat de angst zo heftig is dat het welzijn van deze honden sterk verminderd is. Het is dan ook belangrijk om vroeg in te grijpen bij geluidsangst, voordat de angst zo erg is dat de hond niet meer...
Hi Reader, Woensdag om 12:00 doe ik iets wat ik normaal eigenlijk alleen in mijn eigen werk doe: een paper openslaan en er doorheen lezen zoals een onderzoeker dat doet. Want dat ben ik uiteindelijk 😀. Maar deze keer neem ik je live mee. We pakken dé Nederlandse studie over vuurwerkangst erbij, van van Herwijnen uit 2024 (En ja, in onderzoekstermen is dat heel recent) met ruim 3.000 honden. Dit wordt geen uitgebreid college, met ingewikkelde slides of gecompliceerde data. Gewoon jij en ik,...
Waarom geluidstraining bij honden vaak vastloopt en wat er volgens de wetenschap eerst moet gebeuren
Hoi Reader, Bijna elke gedragsdeskundige en hondentrainer krijgt ze op een gegeven moment: de honden die in paniek raken van vuurwerk, onweer, verkeer of gewoon een dichtslaande deur. Je werkt met desensitisatie en counterconditionering, je doet alles zorgvuldig, en toch wil het bij sommige honden niet lukken. Meestal ligt dat niet aan de training zelf. Er zit vaak een stap tussen die makkelijk over het hoofd wordt gezien. Daarom heb ik een gratis gids geschreven: Waarom geluidstraining...
