Biography and Credentials
Most of you know me as a canine blogger and writer, some as an editor and writing mentor. However I had different passions earlier than writing about canine: music and sound.
I maintain bachelor’s and grasp’s levels in music (harpsichord efficiency) and a grasp’s diploma in engineering science (acoustics). My engineering grasp’s analysis was in energetic noise management (right here’s my thesis) and I authored an article about it that was revealed by a peer-reviewed journal.
I’ve just lately been privileged to carry my experience in music, sound, and acoustics to the canine coaching and habits world. I assess the claims of sound-related merchandise and write instructional articles on the physics of sound associated to canine. I’ve offered two webinars on canine and sound: “Sound Choices” by means of the Science Canine Programs (webinar not at present out there) and “Beethoven for Your Canine—Actually?” for the Lemonade Convention 2021.
It’s additionally a life ardour for me to “translate” technical and scientific data for the general public, and boy, have I discovered a necessity for this within the canine world. Ever since I noticed what number of sound-oriented merchandise there are for canine, and the way a lot misinformation is knocking about, I’ve been in a position to carry my passions collectively.
Having a Sound-Phobic Canine Modifications The whole lot
However I even have a special type of “credential.” I can’t ever write about canine and sound with out mentioning Zani. I used to be the guardian of a beloved, clinically sound-phobic canine, and know firsthand the heartbreaks that situation could cause. I nonetheless discover and alert at noises in her “scary” vary, despite the fact that she has been gone for 3 years now.
I consulted with veterinary behaviorist Dr. E’Lise Christensen of Habits Vets, who made a life-changing distinction for Zani together with her analysis and therapy. I will probably be ceaselessly grateful; Zani had been in disaster together with her phobia, anxiousness, and panic assaults. After Zani was secure, I carried out desensitization and counterconditioning for her phobia of beeps and whistles. This video reveals her earlier than and after therapy.
Zani is likely one of the huge causes I’m devoted to combating misinformation about treating sound phobias and why I put out evidence-based data on canine, music, and sound.
