Empathy, Growth, and Behavior Science with Teisha Rolph [Episode 50]

In this fun episode of the Making Ripples podcast, we welcome Teisha Rolph from Behaviour Antics, a passionate dog trainer and behaviour nerd. Teisha shares her unique journey into animal training, from growing up surrounded by animals to studying animal and veterinary biosciences at university, where she fell in love with the science of behaviour. Inspired by her mentors, Dr. Richard Zann and Jenny Wilcox, Teisha has since built a diverse training career focused on empathy and individualised care.

Throughout this episode, Teisha delves into her work with anxious dogs and their human counterparts, emphasising the importance of moderating expectations and creating a safe environment for both. She shares heartwarming stories about her Finnish Lapphunds, Asgard and Seda, illustrating how each animal's unique needs can influence a trainer's approach. Her experiences with reactivity, cooperative care, and competitive dog sports offer valuable insights for all trainers.

Teisha also reflects on her journey of personal growth through her pets, including ferrets and a cat, and how they have taught her the importance of patience and understanding. With a love for creating educational content and collaborating with fellow trainers like Jose Gomes from Train Me Please, Teisha continues to inspire the animal training community with her approach of knowledge and empathy.

This episode is filled with practical advice, inspiring stories, and a reminder that behaviour training is not always linear - sometimes, it's about embracing patience over pressure.
