Join us on the second Thursday every month for a series on the latest research in animal well-being and how you can use the findings in your shelter and community. This presentation will be given by one of the world’s most pre-eminent animal behaviorists, Dr. Nicholas Dodman, DVM, DACVA, DACVB and Ian Dinwoodie, a data analyst and software engineer. Both are from Tufts University and the Center for Canine Behavior Studies which Dr. Dodman co-founded.
Date: Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 12noon Pacific / 2pm Central / 3pm Eastern
The presenters will discuss the results of their recent publication concerning optimal treatments for various canine behavior issues related to fear and anxiety. In a previous study, they showed that 44% of all dogs have one or more of such issues, so treatment of these problems, ranging from separation anxiety, to storm and noise phobia, to generalized anxiety and PTSD, should be of wide interest. They will detail the odds of improvement in individual problems of this nature that are treated by different types of professionals, along with the programs and techniques they employ, and the success of each.
Viewers will:
- Learn which behavior professional to consult for the best chance of success with each individual fear and anxiety behavior problem
- The best behavior modification techniques to be employed for each problem
- Optimal supportive and managemental measures
- The likely success or failure of different treatments for each problem, including which medical interventions might help, and whether nutraceuticals and dietary measures might help
