PRESENTER
Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman, BVMS and Diplomat of the American College
of Veterinary 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.
Dr. Dodman appears regularly on radio and television including: 20/20, Oprah,
The Today Show, Good Morning America, Dateline, World News with Peter Jennings,
Discovery Channel, NOVA and Animal Planet. In addition, Dr. Dodman is a columnist for Martha
Stewart's Body and Soul magazine. Dr Dodman has made a pilot television film of
his own – sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States –
that is under currently under review by various TV outlets. Good Morning
America producer Patty Nager has dubbed Dr Dodman their /ad hoc/ pet behavioral
expert.
