Unpacking Canine Neuroscience: Transforming Aggression and Building Resilience with Dr. Melanie Uhde

The Bitey End of the Dog

Join us for this spectacular episode with Dr. Melanie Uhde as we explore the cutting-edge intersection of neuroscience and dog behavior. Understanding the role of neurotransmitters like dopamine can transform the way we approach canine aggression, as well as provide insights into the so-called winner effect. Dr. Uhde takes us on a journey from her groundbreaking research at Columbia University to her hands-on experience with village dogs in Thailand, emphasizing the importance of translating academic findings into actionable strategies for dog trainers and owners alike.
