21.01.2022 The body works efficiently using a process called homeostasis. This process gives the body the ability to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological process. Examples of this are: Thirst Hunger ... Temperature Regulation of hormones, chemicals, and neurotransmitters. If the body is unable to maintain homeostasis, disease and abnormal behaviour occur. https://www.completepet.com.au//health-harmony-dog-sympos/ #amberbatson #canines #brain #homeostasis #equilibrium #bodybalance #brainchemicals #stress #dogs #humans #interactions #healthandharmony #dogsymposiumbrisbane #brisbane #queensland

21.01.2022 Some more words (below) from people who have also had the opportunity to listen to and learn from Amber Batson. We are bringing her to Australia, to you. Dont miss out https://www.completepet.com.au/event/health-harmony-dog-symposium-2020/ *Fabulously knowledgeable and experienced. A definite for the must-see list if youre looking for behaviourists to learn from. *The seminar today on dog reactivity was fantastic! I am absolutely fascinated by what Ive learnt around th...e behaviours of dogs outside of domestication and how what we do with our dogs is affecting them and their reactivity levels. Ive learnt so much and am feeling really positive about putting in place what Ive learnt with my slightly dog reactive dog. Amber is a really good speaker and kept the seminar interesting for all 9 hours. Thank you for a great day! * I am currently following the basic course of aggression in dogs, given by Amber Batson of understanding animals. I am especially pleased that Amber can convey the rather scientific and medical material in a way that, for me and I think to everyone, is understandable. I have learned so much thanks to this course! The material is very valuable to me because I can apply it directly in my work as a behavioural expert. * Amber explains things very well and doesnt overcomplicate issues or use too much "jargon" for those of us who arent as well versed in veterinary terminology as we would like to be!

18.01.2022 Acute Stress: Lasts seconds to minutes. During Acute stress the brain releases numerous neurotransmitters and chemicals. This will ensure the body moves faster, increases blood to the muscles, decreases digestion, prepare the body for injury, and decrease pain perception. ~Amber Batson~ https://www.completepet.com.au//health-harmony-dog-sympos/ #neurotransmitters #bloodtomuscles #amberbatson #brain #thoughts #feelings #brainchemicals #stress #dogs #humans #interactions #healthandharmony #dogsymposiumbrisbane #painperception

15.01.2022 Our brain controls our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. When we interact with a dog the chemicals and structure are affected within their brain .

11.01.2022 Chronic Stress: Starts in minutes and may last minutes, hours, days, weeks, or longer. During Chronic stress, the brain releases chemicals to stimulate the adrenal glands to produce steroids in the bloodstream. Continued stress (Chronic stress) will keep the body more active, decrease immunity, fertility, and sleep. ~Amber Batson~ https://www.completepet.com.au//health-harmony-dog-sympos/ #amberbatson #brain #chronicstress #adrenalglands #brainchemicals #stress #dogs #humans #interactions #healthandharmony #dogsymposiumbrisbane #brisbane #queensland

09.01.2022 Diving into Jennys recent interview with Amber Batson Part 2... Health & Harmony Dog Symposium - Brisbane > WHAT WILL AMBER BRING US?: A whole heap of subjects... within the topic of Stress. She states that the term stress is used a lot in our everyday lives about ourselves and our pets / animals. But, we need to look at exactly what we mean by stress. For example in recent findings the acute stress response might actually have a hormone involved called Osteocalcin which weve never appreciated before. The implications of that are not yet fully understood, however we should know more by August. The important thing is that we really need to understand what goes on in the body and brain during stress.
