Lucy Daniels, BSc (Hons), Daniels Dogs
As a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, there are times when collaboration with a Veterinary Behaviourist is essential to provide the best possible care for a case. I had the pleasure of consulting with Dr. Jahn on a particularly challenging case involving a young dog who was very anxious and traumatised. The dog required psychopharmacological support alongside a carefully tailored behaviour modification plan to address his fear and anxiety effectively. Dr. Jahn's expertise and guidance were absolutely invaluable. Her approach was not only thorough but also exceptionally prompt, both during the initial consultation and in her follow-up support. Thanks to her knowledge, we were able to help this dog much more effectively. I greatly appreciated Dr. Jahn's collaborative and compassionate approach, and I very much hope to work with her again in the future.

I just wanted to send you an email and let you know how much I am enjoying your Psychoactive course so far. I have done only about 35% but it’s so helpful, very comprehensive and I just like it a lot!
I am looking forward to the Zoom meetings too.
Thank you for this missing piece. I will likely say masterpiece once I complete it.
Janet Cutler, CAAB
I wanted to thank you for the psychopharmacology course! It truly stands out in the online course world! I am a CAAB and often work with veterinarians who are uncomfortable with behaviour meds, and I'll definitely be recommending your course for those that are interested in learning more.

Just finished lesson 3 in module 1. I am blown away by the content and organisation of the material, including downloads. I will be spreading the word to anyone who is interested in a great psychopharm course.
Natasha with Spokie & Leila
Spokie (it means little ghost in Afrikaans) was a feral cat which I rescued from a basement parking garage. She was very aggressive and soon I realized that I was out of my depth with how to handle her. I would many times wonder if I made the right decision. I was referred to Dr Katrin and told that she would be able to evaluate Spokie and give some advice. It was life changing!! With Dr Katrin’s guidance, I started understanding Spokie’s cues of when to touch and when not to. I read her body language and now understand when she is in a good mood or when I should rather leave her alone. Dr Katrin made suggestions on how to rearrange the room so that Spokie could get to places where she could calm down and hide if she needed to. She’s receiving medication which is managing her extreme anxiety and I am even able to touch her, she sits on my lap and she loves playing, something I never thought I would see.
