Daniel MillsHostBeckyGuestMillie JonesHostCraigGuestArguably the biggest part is if we can't help the human, we often can't help the pet.
So we mentioned in a previous episode the importance of making sure clients have the capability, the opportunity and the motivation to bring about the changes needed themselves.
So this is important because without aligning those well, even if we have the absolute best plans, we're theoretically brilliant, we've really got it together, they're not going to work if we don't have those things as well.
So speaking about capability first, this can be divided up into physical capability and psychological capability.
So when we're thinking about the people involved in changing a pet's behaviour, we need to know have they got the physical capabilities, i.e. the physical skills required to be implementing things that we might be asking them to do.
So the knowledge and understanding of what they need to do and when they need to do it, as well as making sure they're in the right frame of mind for what it is we're actually doing, which is a hugely important part when we've got people also living under stress as well as their pets.
So Becky and Craig, and you can answer individually if you prefer or take it in turns.
In terms of, I guess, the physical skills and capabilities and then the psychological skills and capabilities with the sorts of things that we started to do with you.
And we've mentioned this earlier in relation to some of the diaries we kept previously and making sure that was going to work for you.
So that's probably a key one if you're thinking about physical skill and what we're asking you to do there.
Avoiding triggers, so continuing to avoid situations that might actually cause unwanted behaviours to occur with drugs.
And then using these discriminative signals and starting to implement them into training and separation training.
So I know that's a big question and a lot of information, but just thinking about those firstly physical skills and how or what did you think was most important or what parts of sort of physical skills did you think were important in being able to implement some of these things that we were discussing with you?
