Covered In Pet Hair - Episode 39 Much Ado About Naughty

It was an honor for Isabel to sit down with Dr. Christopher Pachel of the Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Pachel is one of fewer than 100 Animal Behaviorists in the WORLD! In this episode, Isabel and Dr. Pachel discuss what it takes to become a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and earn the right to call oneself an Animal Behaviorist. Apart from a Veterinary degree, and a bunch of research and on-the-job training, Dr. Pachel describes his 4+ year process of obtaining ACVB certification in the show's first game, "What's a Behaviorist?"

In the second part of the show, they discuss the role Vet Behaviorists play vs. traditional veterinarians and certified dog trainers. Dr. Pachel describes vet behaviorists as psychiatrists, psychologists, and even social workers. Isabel is always thrilled to hear that support exists for our furry and four-legged companions. Dr. Pachel specializes in cats and dogs and is a true legend in the pet industry.
