Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman, BVMS and Diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Animal Behaviorists is one of the world’s most noted and celebrated veterinary behaviorists. He grew-up in England and trained to be a vet in Scotland. At the age of 26, he became the youngest veterinary faculty member in Britain. It was at that time that Dr. Dodman began specializing in surgery and anesthesiology.
In 1981 Dr. Dodman immigrated to the United States where he became a faculty member of Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. Shortly after his arrival, Dr. Dodman became interested in behavioral pharmacology and the field of animal behavior. After spending several years in this area of research, he founded the Animal Behavior Clinic - one of the first of its kind - at Tufts in 1986. He received an additional board certification in animal behavior from the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. Dr. Dodman began to see clinical cases in 1987 and since 1990; he has devoted all of his time to his specialty practice of animal behavior.
Since the mid 1990s, Dr. Dodman has written two textbooks, over 100 articles and contributions to scientific books and journals and four acclaimed bestselling books, including The Dog Who Loved Too Much, Dogs Behaving Badly and his latest, If Only They Could Speak.
