Animal Training Academy: Making Ripples
Juliette Nash; Cats to whales & back again, a Behavior Nerds journey [Episode 51]
31 Oct 2024
In this engaging episode of the Making Ripples podcast, we welcome Juliette Nash, Community Animal Training Manager at San Diego Humane Society. From her early childhood dream of working with animals to a career dedicated to animal behavior, Juliette shares her inspiring journey. With a Master's degree in killer whale social behavior and vocal learning, Juliette's transition into the world of animal welfare led her to develop innovative training programs for both cats and dogs, including unique classes like Shy Cat training and a Pet Training Assistance Fund. Juliette's passion for cooperative, choice-based training, particularly with fearful and poorly socialized animals, shines through as she discusses the importance of meeting animals where they are and using accessible language to empower pet owners. We delve into the behind-the-scenes development of her behavior programs, how she balances research with hands-on work, and her continuous efforts to support animals and their families. This episode is filled with practical advice for trainers and pet owners alike, and heartwarming stories, including a moving account of a cat named Magneto who, through Juliette's guidance, transformed from a fearful hoarding rescue to a beloved, affectionate companion.
