1. Executive Director

   Center For Canine Behavior Studies

   Jan 2014 — Present · Salisbury, CT, US

   The Center for Canine Behavior Studies was established with the primary purpose to investigate the behavioral factors linking dogs and their owners/adopters in order to specifically identify the factors of behavioral compatibility that most influence dog relinquishment. Behavior is the # 1 killer of dogs under the age of 3 years old. It is known that every year—in the United States alone—millions of dogs are relinquished; dog relinquishment is the largest contributing factor in shelter overpopulation, which is the largest contributing factor in canine euthanasia. Annually in the U.S. between 1.25 and 1.5 million dogs are destroyed. The Center for Canine Behavior Studies seeks to unearth behavioral linkages between people and their dogs that preserve and reinforce the human-canine relationship, reduce relinquishment and work toward the eventual goal of putting the practice of canine euthanasia into the past once and for all.The Center\'s Chief Scientific Officer and Chair of its growing Scientific Advisory Board is Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman, BVMS, DVA, DACVAA, DACVB. Dr. Dodman is a Tufts University faculty member at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, and Professor, Section Head and Program Director of the Tufts Animal Behavior Department of Clinical Sciences.Dr. Dodman is world renowned animal behaviorists who has worked, investigated and peer published invaluable research findings on canine behavior and the human-canine bond.
