What if you could unlock the secrets of your dog's behavior through their gut? In our latest episode, we welcome Sarita Pellowe, an esteemed dog trainer and researcher, to guide us through the fascinating world of the gut microbiome and its profound impact on canine behavior. Sarita demystifies the vast and diverse ecosystem residing in your dog's gut, explaining how these microorganisms can shape health and behavior. You'll be amazed at the parallels between human and dog gut microbiomes and what this could mean for advancements in mental health research for both species!
About Sarita:
"I’m a trainer/behaviour consultant and grad student based in St John’s, Newfoundland. Proud human to Denzel (12 yo Boston terrier mix) and Leeloo (6 yo Rottweiler), and owned/ruled by our 6 year old kitty, Brookie. Originally from Blackpool, UK, I moved to Newfoundland in 2012 to pursue my first Masters degree in fish cardiovascular physiology after completing my B.Sc. in Zoology at the University of Manchester. I met Denzel in 2012, and as my problem child we set out on our training journey together. In 2017 I gained my CPDT-KA, then in 2018 I launched East Coast Canine Dog Training and gained my CBCC-KA. I returned to school in the height of the pandemic and joined the Canine Research Unit at Memorial University, where I have been researching the links between gut microbiome composition and anxiety/aggression in dogs. At East Coast Canine, I offer both private and group training and regularly volunteer at our local SPCA providing behaviour assessments and training for our rescues. In my spare time you’ll typically find me out fishing at the cabin, hiking the beautiful and rugged East Coast trails of Newfoundland, or attending agility/rally classes with Leeloo at our local sports club."

ABOUT ABBEY:
Abbey Johnson CPDT-KA, FDM
"Understanding animals and their behavior has always been a passion of mine. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and various other types of animals throughout my childhood onwards. The more time I spend with animals, the more I realize the disconnected communication we often tend to have with them. Animals, and dogs especially, are always talking to us. It’s our job to stop, listen, and kindly teach them about our human world!I have an extensive background working with shelter and rescue dogs. Stemming from this comes my special love for small breed dogs, and although I work with all dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people reach their full potential with their small breed dogs, who can often be overlooked and misunderstood. I strive to make my two rescued small breed dogs, Phoebe and Pocket, an example to the fact that small dogs are just as trainable and just as deserving of a fulfilled life as any other dog! We spend most of our days learning tricks, practicing nosework, adventuring out in nature, or curled up watching movies on the couch.
I graduated in 2018 with my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Auburn University, and continued on to work for over 5 years in animal sheltering/rescue, where I generated a lot of experience handling various dogs with different degrees of behavioral needs. From there, I pursued my passion for training by becoming a multi-certified professional dog trainer, and haven’t looked back! I strive to be approachable, accessible, and non-judgemental when working with clients. My goal is always “progress over perfection,” and I will never try to hold you to unrealistic or unhelpful standards when working together. We do better when we know better, and all of us always have something new to

ABOUT BRIAN:
"I joined the Army right out of high school and served 6 years as a Military Police Officer in the Rhode Island National Guard. After that, I worked as an assistant trainer before branching off and working with dogs on my own.
I'm always interested in continuing education, and I have completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course, and the LEGS Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation course, both of which have transformed how I view complex behavior cases. I grew a bad taste for dog behavior solutions that homogenized all dogs into simple input-output conditioning robots who just need more obedience training, I used those techniques, and they barely scratched the surface of the real issues dogs are facing. Thankfully I found a community of likeminded professionals who also want to look at the whole picture. I am currently working on educational offerings that I hope will benefit the applied ethology community.
I specialize in complex cases and have been sought after by conferences and podcasts to speak on chaos theory & complexity in dog behavior cases.
I have an Australian Shepherd named Nova, who sometimes assists with training. She is pretty cool."https://brianthebarkeologist.com/
