Podcasts about Dodman

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mal etwas ausführlicher über das Thema Ernährung (aus unserer Sicht). Soll heißen: Natürlich sind wir keine Ernährungsberater, weshalb diese Folge auch nicht zur Fütterungsanweisung für deinen Hund anzusehen ist, aber natürlich werden wir in unserem Beruf häufig auch mit diesem Thema konfrontiert. Kai hat uns selbstverständlich auch dieses Mal nicht enttäuscht und hat passend dazu auch wieder die ein oder andere Studie rausgesucht. Leider kommen wir in dieser Folge nicht in aller Ausführlichkeit zum Themenbereich "Ernährung und Verhalten", aber wir hoffen natürlich das wir auch dieses Thema nochmal aufgreifen können. Wenn ihr einen oder eine ErnährunngsberaterIn kennt, die vielleicht Lust hätte als Gast in unserer Folge mit uns über das Thema zu sprechen schreibt uns gerne!

Can Pets Commit Suicide? Dr. Nicholas Dodman (Program Director for the Animal Behavior Department at Tufts) researched several alleged cases of pet suicide to see if it's possible. He's here to report on his findings and to answer the provocative question. Listen Now Laws to Protect Pets Left Out in the Cold While many states mandate that pets are not allowed to be kept outdoors in extreme weather for extended periods of time without insulated housing, others barely consider hypothermia deaths to be animal cruelty.

In this episode I aim to capture the spirit of new beginnings and past reflections.  I discuss embarking on changing pet companion behavior first by taking inventory on the time we have in our personal and professional lives. Learning new communication and management skills to support and improve our relationship with our pet companions requires our attention and commitment. When introducing clear communication systems with our pet companions, some unwanted behaviors may tease out fairly early however there will be others that will be a little more "sticky", they'll take a little more time to unravel. In most cases improving behaviors requires we learn and practice new skills over and over again until they become unconscious behaviors.  In this episode we explore  the importance of evaluating your life, learn the steps on how to take  inventory of your responsibilities and considerations on making space before committing to starting a behavior modification training program so to support your two and four family success! ReferencesDinwoodie, I.

Brian v Lorna - Listen to the PodcastThe high cost of cheating on your spouse.I was standing at the window looking down at the street four stories below when Shawna, my secretary, office manager, computer guru and all around everything opened my office door and told me there was a Mrs. Valerie Benson who wished to speak with me. I told her to send Mrs. Benson in and moved behind my desk.Shawna ushered Mrs. Benson in and I offered her my hand, introduced myself and asked her to have a seat. I sat down at my desk and asked:“What can I do for you Mrs. Benson?”“I'm hoping you can find my husband for me.”“May I ask who referred you to me?”“No one. I was leaving my attorney's office and I saw the sign on your door that said Davis Investigations and I assumed you were a private investigator.”As she said that I mentally patted myself on the back again for being smart enough to set up my business close to a law office. I got a lot of business from people leaving the attorney's office.“Why do you need someone to find your husband?”“I need to find him so I can divorce him.”“You don't need to find him for that. I'm sure your attorney told you that you can divorce him for abandonment after a year's absence.”“I can't wait a year. I need to get rid of him before September 19th.”“Why is the date critical?”“I come into some money on September 20th and if I'm not rid of him by then he will end up getting half in the divorce and I don't want that cheating son of a bitch to get a dime of it. I'm told a divorce will take six months so that just gives me eight months to find him and get rid of him.”“You could save yourself some money by just going to the police and file a missing person's report and let them find him.”“My attorney told me it would be a waste of time. Since I'd kicked him out and told him I wanted nothing to do with him the police wouldn't even take a report let alone look for him.”“Perhaps you should fill me in on the situation.”“I caught the asshole cheating on me and I kicked his ass out of the house, changed the locks and bought myself a gun. I told him if he tried to get into the house I'd shoot him in the balls. The house was mine before we married so he had no legal rights to it and to get in. He could have gotten a court order to get into to get his things, but he didn't. He just left and I haven't seen nor heard from him in over six months. The attorney told me that if we can find him quickly and have him served and he doesn't fight the divorce it can all be over before I come in to the money. That gives me eight months to find him, serve him, and hope he doesn't fight it. I don't see why he would given that he has completely dropped out of sight and hasn't tried to contact me at all.”I asked her for a list of relatives, friends and acquaintances, where he worked and anything else she could tell me that night give me a starting point. She told me he had no living relatives, but she gave me what she could and then said:“I don't know the name of the floozy he was cheating on me with, but I did get her license plate number.”She gave it to me and I asked her how she had found out her husband was cheating.“I left work one day and I stopped at the CVC pharmacy on the way home. There is a motel across the street and I saw my husband's truck in the parking lot. After filling my prescription I parked where I could watch his truck. About an hour later he came out of room 111 with a blond. They kissed, got in their cars and left. When she pulled out of the lot she went right by me and I got a look at her plate number and I wrote it down. I knew when I confronted him that evening he would deny it and say I was imagining things so I was going to throw her description, the room number and her plate number in his face when he denied it.”I told her what my rates were and she gave me a retainer. After she left I gave Shawna all the information Mrs. Benson had given me and told her to work her magic on the computer to get me everything she could find on Thomas Benson.I called on Thomas's employer and found out he didn't work there anymore.“Don't know what happened, but one day he was a no call, no show and we haven't seen or heard from him since. Frankly, he wasn't very well liked and no one is sorry that he is gone.”Next I called on the list of names Mrs. Benson gave me and got pretty much what I'd gotten from his employer. He had dropped out of sight and no one cared enough to wonder why. Had to make me wonder how a man so disliked could hook up with someone to have an affair with.I called a good friend of mine who was pretty high in rank at the police department. Actually he was my partner when I was on the force. I asked him if they had anything on Benson. He called me back and said they had nothing on a Thomas Benson other that a couple of traffic tickets.Shawna had managed to find out he had used his credit cards to buy gas at three gas stations to the south of us, but other than that there had been no sign of the man.After six days of killing time I let Mrs. Benson know that it appeared that her husband had headed south and the only thing south of where he had last used his credit card was Mexico and I wouldn't even try to find him in Mexico. I told her it would be damned near impossible given that no credit card purchases had been made in Mexico to give me a starting point. It might be possible, but the expense would be horrendous. I also pointed out that, at least to me, he didn't want to be found. She thanked me for my efforts, paid the rest of my bill and then left my office.After six days of killing time? Oh yeah. I knew exactly where Thomas Benson was and I knew it even before Mrs. Benson walked into my office. I also knew that Mrs. Benson would never see or hear from Thomas Benson ever again.How did I know these things? The blond that Mrs. Benson saw coming out of room 111 of the Red Roof Inn with her husband was my wife Lorna and I was also watching the motel when the couple came out of that room. Mr. Benson currently resided under the foundation of the house on 723 Wildflower Lane. Ten thousand to the friend of a friend of a friend of mine saw to that part of the problem. The same friend of a friend of a friend saw to it that the credit card trail would lead to Mexico in case the law ever got involved in Mr. Benson's disappearance.As to the Lorna part of the problem? Nothing. As far as she knew I had no idea she was cheating on me with Benson and I needed it to stay that way. In the unlikely event of the law getting involved in Benson's disappearance and they found out from someone of Lorna's affair with Benson I needed to appear to be shocked at the information. I say in the unlikely event because Benson had been gone six months and no one seemed to care. Even Mrs. Benson hadn't cared until she needed to get divorced.There was another reason why I didn't confront my wife over her dalliance with Benson. My wife came from money. Serious money! When she turned thirty she would come into a trust fund of a little over two and a half million dollars and she was seven months away. The best part? She didn't ask for a prenuptial agreement when we married. I didn't even find out about the trust fund until two years after we were married. When I found out my reaction was “So what? I've got Lorna and that's all that matters. For richer or poorer” is what I'd said in the marriage ceremony and I'd meant it. Even if we were poor I'd still have Lorna with me and that was all that matteredAt least until I found out she was cheating on me.Once I found out she was cheating on me we were done as far being a married couple was concerned and yes I could be selective when it came to my wedding vows. I'd go for “Richer or poorer” and I'd be all in with “Sickness and health” and when it came to “For better or worse” I'd go along with most anything except for adultery. Adultery changed from “Death do you part” to “Divorce do you part.”Once divorce entered into things Lorna's trust fund became more important to me. I figured I could put up with the cheating bitch for the chunk of her trust fund I'd get in the divorce. However to get that chunk I'd have to hang in there with her until she came into the money and possibly a little after to make sure.It wouldn't be all that hard of a thing to do. She was a good cook, kept a clean house and was pretty damned good in bed. All I had to do was pretend to be a loving husband for seven or eight more months and I was pretty sure I could manage that. Of course I would have to see that she didn't become involved with anyone else during that period who she might decide to leave me for. I had no idea if Benson was just a fling or it was something more serious, but once I found out about him I made the decision that he had to go.It did seem that maybe I had rushed to judgement on poor Mr. Benson because Lorna showed absolutely no sign of missing her lover. She was still doing her best to reduce me to ruin in the bedroom three and four times a week, but she was doing that even when she was with Benson.After Benson I decided I needed to become proactive where Lorna was concerned. I had no idea if Benson was the first or just the latest and I'd found out about him by accident. I was on the job and actually watching room 113 at the Red Roof and waiting to take pictures of my client's wife and her lover when Lorna and Benson came out of room 111.Since then I have paid very close attention to my wife's comings and goings. I could pretty much account for Lorna's evenings and weekends so her playing had to be during the day and it wasn't lost on me that I'd caught Lorna and Benson while she was on her lunch hour. Checking I'd found out that while Lorna and Benson didn't work for the same company they did work in the same building. The building had a lounge right next door and Lorna did stop there one night a week after work for drinks with her coworkers. I surmised that is where she and Benson first hooked up.I subscribed to the axiom that “Once a cheater always a cheater” and I fully expected Lorna to cheat again and since finding out about Benson I really didn't care if she did. Once I found out about Benson our marriage was toast. All I really cared about was that it didn't become more than a fling. I didn't want Lorna leaving me for someone else before coming into her trust. In fact I wanted her to cheat so I would have grounds to sue her for divorce, but not until after she came into her money.We lived in a state where no fault divorce held sway and I didn't have to have evidence of her cheating for the courts, but I wanted it for when I confronted Lorna, told her I was divorcing her and then showed her why.Because of my occupation I wasn't nailed down to an office so I could easily position myself where I could watch Lorna's building a half hour before her lunch hour. The building had a cafeteria in the basement so if Lorna didn't leave the building within twenty minutes from the start of her lunch hour I figured that I could safely assume she was eating in.Even if I was on a case I could almost always break away from it for the time necessary to watch Lorna's building. It was three months after finding her with Benson that she left the building at eleven fifty-five, got in her car and drove to the Red Roof Inn. She pulled into the lot and parked next to a late model Escalade. A man got out, they kissed and then went into room 109. They were the room for forty-five minutes and then they came out, got in their cars and left. I got pictures of them going in and coming out and then I followed the Escalade and surprise surprise it went back to the parking lot at the same building Lorna worked in.I took he plate number and using one of my contacts at the police department I found out the car was registered to a William Dodman who lived at 4880 Apple Tree Place. I drove over to the address and found it to be a fairly large house on a good sized lot. From another contact, this one at the city/county building got me the information that the owners of record were a William and Mellissa Dodman.Over dinner that night I hit Lorna with a question and I thought I saw a touch of worry cross her face when I asked:“Give me a woman's perspective on something. Why does a woman cheat on her husband? Why doesn't she just divorce him and then move on with the other guy?”“What brings this up?”“A case I'm working on. A client suspected his wife was cheating on him and he hired me to find out for sure. Turns out he was right.”“I don't know; it could be for any number of reasons. Maybe she was getting even with him for something he did or she thought he did. Maybe she didn't love him anymore. Could be he couldn't get the job done in the bedroom and while she still loved him she needed the sexual relief a lover could give her. What did the client do when he found out?”“I don't know, but if it were me I'd kick her ass to the curb in a heartbeat.”The next morning I turned Shawna loose on Mellissa Dodman and she found out Mellissa was a real estate broker with the Gary Agency. I had Shawna pull up the agencies listings and then I called Mellissa at the number Shawna got for me. I told Mrs. Dodman that I was interested in the property located at 941 Nucla and she agreed to meet me there.The photos that Shawna had pulled up did not do Mellissa justice. The woman was a stone fox. Unless the woman was like an ice cube in the bedroom I could not understand her husband stepping out on her.We introduced ourselves and then went inside the house and after a walk thru Mellissa said “You aren't really here to look at the house. I'm going to guess what you really want is to discuss what is going on between your wife and my husband.”She laughed at the expression that came over my face.“How could you know that?”“The private detective I had on Billy recognized you as you were following your wife and he let me know. I guess the next question is why you needed to arrange our meeting?”“Since you know who I am I may as well lay it all out for you. I wanted to see if I could get a feel for what kind of person you were. In short, would you be the kind of woman your husband would walk away from and go after my wife. I'm trying to determine if Lorna is just having a fling or is it something more serious.”“He won't be walking away from me; crawling is more likely. Billy is fully aware of my stance on fidelity. One and done is the phrase I hear used most often. Sounds like you are thinking of keeping the slut.”“No; she's history, but I need at least five more months before I cut her loose. I need some time to take care of some things before I hit her with divorce papers. Any way you could see your way clear to let hubby slide for five months?”“There might be. Depends on you.”“Depends on me?”“Are you up for some revenge sex?”“What do you have in mind?”“The couch in the den is a pullout sofa bed. Quick and dirty and I'll give you at least three months.”I'd never cheated on Lorna, but given what she'd been doing I didn't owe her fidelity so I said “It isn't something I would normally do, but I really do need to stall things with Lorna, but I do have to ask you why me? You are hot and I know you know it. You could walk into any lounge in town and have your pick of any man there.”“Yes, but they wouldn't be the husband of the wife my husband is fucking. Yes or no?”Yes. I need all the time I can buy.““Okay then; it is off to the den and the pull out bed.”I followed her into the den, helped her pull out the sofa bed and then she hoisted her skirt and took off her panties. As she got on the bed she said:“Your pants have to go. I don't want my hairs getting caught in your zipper. I kicked off my loafers, dropped my trousers and boxers and then got on the sofa bed with her. She was waiting, legs spread wide and I moved between them, lined myself up and started pushing in. Three strokes and I was all the way in.She might have been a hot looking woman, but she laid there looking up at me and it was like I imagined fucking a blowup doll would be like. No wonder her husband fooled around on her. I hammered away, got my nut and then I pulled out and got of the bed. As I was pulling my pants on she said:"Would you like to know why you wife fucks around on you?”As I tightened my belt I said “Tell me.”“You climb on, go bam bam, get your rocks off and then pull out and get off the bed. Women need more than that. Billy might be an asshole, but he's pretty good in the sack.”“Whoa up there little lady (I heard John Wayne say that in a movie once and I thought it was cool). You were the one who said quick and dirty so that is what I gave you” I said as I dropped my pants back on the floor.I climbed back on the bed and she asked “What are you doing?”I didn't say anything; I just lowered my head to her pussy.“"Don't do that! It's not clean. I've got your stuff in me.”“As long as it's only mine” I said before I started eating her pussy. It didn't take long before her protests stopped and her hands gripped my head and held it in place as though she thought I might quit and leave.I kept at it until she had an orgasm and then I moved up and worked on her tits for a bit and then I slowly kissed my way down her body and gave her clit another lick or two. By then I was up again and I moved up until my cock was lined up with her slit and then I slowly eased my way in. I moved around until my cock touched her clit and then I slowly fucked her through two orgasms until I felt the need and then I drove hard until I had my climax.I waited until I was soft again before pulling out and getting up. As she sat up she said “I could probably see my way clear to hold off on Billy for as long as you need if we could maybe do this a couple more times.”It was more than a couple. It was once or twice a week until two months after Lorna came into her trust. During that time Lorna dropped Billy and went through two more lovers before I finally dropped the bomb on her.I had her served where she worked. Only fair since that is where she hooked up with all her lovers. I made sure she was served before lunch hoping it would fuck up her nooner for the day. I wasn't surprised when I got the phone call.“What the hell is with this divorce shit?”“It is what one does when he finds out his wife is cheating on him.”“Bullshit! I've never cheated on you. We will discuss this shit when I get home.”“That might be a little difficult since I won't be there.”“Why not?”“Do you not understand what a divorce is? It ends the relationship between two people. I've moved out.”“How can we talk and straighten this out if you aren't home?”“Nothing to talk about Lorna. You cheated, I found out and we are done. Goodbye Lorna.”I hung up the phone and told Shawna not to put any calls from Lorna thru to me. That evening I checked into a motel where I'd stay until I could find an apartment.I should have known it wouldn't be that easy. The next morning Lorna came rushing into my office ignoring Shawna's “You can't go in there.” She sat down on the chair opposite me and said:“Now what is with this divorce and cheat nonsense?”“Well the first thing you should know is that the ‘offense is the best defense ' thing does not work in all situations. This is one of those situations where it will not work. Deny it as vehemently as you want, but I have ample evidence that you cheated on me not just once, but five times that I know of. You might remember the night I asked you if you could give me some idea of why wives cheated on their husbands. That was the day I was across the street from the Red Roof Inn, camera in hand, ready to take pictures of my clients wife when she and her lover came out of room 113. Imagine my surprise when I saw my wife and Thomas Benson come out of room 111.”I caught her cheating.I saw her belligerence fade as she realized she'd been caught. She sat there looking at me for several seconds and then said: “That was months ago. Why didn't you bring it up then?” I lied and said “I had hoped it was just a onetime fling. I even let you know that evening how I felt about cheating. Remember? You asked what the client did about his cheating wife and I told you I didn't

This episode is sponsored in part by Smalls Fresh Cat Food and Doobert.com. If dogs and cats could choose a psychiatrist it would be Dr. Nicholas Dodman. With a drive for advocacy, a gift for research, and a never-say-quit treatment philosophy, it is no surprise that he is one of the world's most noted veterinary behaviorists. Co-founder of the Center for Canine Behaviour Studies, Dr. Dodman describes himself as a “secret cat person,” as well. In this episode, Dr. Dodman and Stacy chat about enrichment for indoor cats and how clicker training with cats positively enhances their relationship with their people. Dr. Dodman takes us through behavioral conflicts that are common in cats and some that are uncommon—like separation anxiety.  He outlines how pharmaceutical solutions treat behavioral issues like territorial spraying, pica, and compulsive behavior (OCD) in cats.

Feelings have a history and nostalgia has its own. In What Nostalgia Was: War, Empire, and the Time of a Deadly Emotion(University of Chicago Press, 2018) Thomas Dodman explores the history of nostalgia from the late seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. Beginning with the coining of the term by a young Swiss medical student in 1688, the book tracks the development of nostalgia as a diagnosis with a specific military medical history. Never exclusive to the French context, the disease garnered more attention there than elsewhere in Europe for various reasons, including the existence of a powerful military force through the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, and the specificities of French political, cultural, and medical fields during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Rooted at first in the experiences, displacements, and alienation of soldiers far from home, the diagnosis morphed eventually from an illness to a broader set of cultural phenomena and “feels,” acquiring the character of the temporal, memorial sentimentality we think of today. Bringing together intellectual, military, and medical history with the history of emotions, What Nostalgia Was stays close throughout to the lived experience of those whose pained and/or pleasurable longings for spaces/times distant or lost preoccupied the expert observers and practitioners who sought to help and understand them. Dodman’s examination of historical shifts in understandings of nostalgia is compelling as it builds on both the author’s commitment to archival evidence and sources, and his openness to the insights and approaches of political and cultural theory, philosophy and literary studies. His carefully researched analysis of what nostalgia was and became between Algeria and France is particularly fascinating. The book will give readers (and listeners!) much to think on in terms of why and how nostalgia has moved and affected individuals and cultures for centuries up to and including the present. Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Simon Fraser University. Her current research focuses on the representation of nuclear weapons and testing in France and its empire since 1945. She lives and reads in Vancouver, Canada.

In this episode, I’ll look at three instances where looks can be deceiving – the theme for this week’s  show. Does your cat pad her feet up and down on your chest or stomach which is called kneading? And/or ever suck on you or your clothing? Even though you know you are not a cat, and couldn’t deceive anyone, you don’t fool your cat. To them, you resemble its mother well enough that they engage in those behaviors with you. In this episode, I explain why and how. Anxiety in a dog at night, can be a sign of Alzheimer’s disease and often by the look of your dog, it results in this diagnosis - but it can also be something else. Don’t be fooled by appearances. My guest for this show, is veterinary behaviorist, Dr. Nicolas Dodman, author of two books spoken about during the show, “Good Old Dog” and “Pets on the Couch.” He explains other reasons for your dog’s night time jitters and impresses on you why it’s so important to take your dog to see the  vet. Have you heard people say the dog attacked totally out of the blue – for no reason?  Mostly, there are three very distinct reasons – the causes for dog aggression. Although most of us, don’t recognize the signs nor understand the triggers. In this episode, I tell the circumstances in which dogs actually do attack with no provocation at all.  It does come from out of no-where that we can see – but not being visible is the clue for what is happening to cause a dog to go berserk. I’ll relate the experiences of Dr. Nicolas Dodman, from his book, Pets on the Couch.

In 2012 Michael Dodman AKA Huxley solidified himself on the global scene through his breakthrough single ‘Let It Go’. The Hypercolour released track went on to become one of that year’s biggest singles, even Resident Advisor gave it their seal of approval with a 4/5 review and a ‘RA Recommends’ stamp. The track’s use of minimal elements for maximum results really showcased his impressive grasp on electronic music, and since then Dodman has become one of the scene’s most booked DJs and producers with further releases on Aus, 20/20, Defected, Rinse and more. It is easy to see why he is so popular as his DJ sets can traverse through the whole spectrum of electronic music, keeping it interesting but never straying too far from the right side of groove. Be it musically or philosophically (his Huxley pseudonym is inspired by famous philosopher Aldous Huxley), Dodman is a real explorer who is always moving forward, and of late he has adopted an harder edged sound. His Balance Selections mix is a perfect snapshot of what the Englishman is all about today. It connects the dots through various dance floor moods that keeps it interesting throughout for a satisfying listen.

Join Dr. Glenn Olah and the audience at the 2016 Winn Symposium for a lively Q&A session with Drs. Leslie Lyons and Nicholas Dodman. Speakers at Winn Symposiums provide excellent answers to important questions from our audience. We at Winn thank you for listening.

Dr. Dodman provided information on the common presentation of three compulsive behaviors in cats - wool sucking/pica, psychogenic alopecia and feline hyperesthesia syndrome. He addressed the cause and treatment of each disorder, including genetic foundations, environmental pressures that trigger them, and environmental and pharmacologic therapies that have been shown to reduce, or in some cases practically eliminate their expression. He outlined a phenotypic study of wool sucking funded by Winn, listing potential causes and preventive measures that can be taken to reduce the occurrence of this troubling and occasionally lethal condition. Also, Dr. Dodman discussed findings of a Winn-funded study to locate atypical genomic regions in Birman cats affected with this condition.

In a short segment, Dr. Glenn Olah introduces the Winn Feline Foundation board members in the audience. Dr. Olah introduces the second speaker for the 2016 Symposium, Dr. Nicholas Dodman, BVMS, MRCVS, DACVA, DACVB. Dr. Dodman has just retired and was a Professor at Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. He is an expert in behavior and covered Feline Compulsive Disorders in his presentation.

Movies Impacting Breed Popularity After analyzing a number of movies released between 1927 and 2004 featuring dogs and evaluating AKC registration trends, researchers confirmed that movies definitely have an impact on breed popularity. "Lassie Come Home" was associated with a 40% increase in Collie registrations.
