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 the
American Kennel Club's quarterly publication, AKC
Family Dog.
This column was nominated as column of the year (2005). Dr Dodman
also writes a column for Life Magazine that is read by an estimated
twelve million people weekly and writes a column for Martha Stewart's
Body and Soul magazine. Dr Dodman has made a pilot television film of

Morning America producer Patty Nager has dubbed Dr Dodman their /ad
