Episode Details

Veterinary behaviorist Dr. Nicholas Dodman is the author of several best-selling dog/cat behavior books and  co-founder of the Center for Canine Behavior Studies. And a great part of the focus of this organization is about creating citizen science projects and revealing the validated results. Also, Be Bite Smart which is all about dog bite prevention, and the week to enhance awareness is April 13 to 19. Joining the Center is free and you receive a free quarterly newsletter. Dr. Dodman explains in detail what Be Bite Smart is all about. We also discuss my idea to Ask the Dog, which is what my most recent book as Dr. Dodman says, I am “cross-pollinating” with the Center for Canine Behavior Studies.

The GOAT of training and behavior is Dr. Patricia McConnell, and she has an all new and very different book out, a novel called Away to Me. This is a switch compared to her previous non-fiction top-selling and renowned dog training and behavior books, and she explains why she authored a fiction murder mystery. 

When cats feel pain (including from declaw) it adversely impacts their quality of life, no matter what anyone says.
