Today on the Balanced Dog Training Show, we’re joined by the incredible Dr. Melanie Uhde for an eye-opening conversation on how hormones and neurotransmitters influence dog behavior—and how that knowledge can transform your training approach.
Dr. Uhde is a renowned expert in canine neurobiology and behavior, and she's leading the charge in bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday dog training. In this episode, we dive deep into the major neurotransmitters and hormones—like dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, and adrenaline—and how each one affects a dog’s emotional state, reactivity, focus, and ability to learn.
We break down how these chemical messengers impact common behavioral issues such as anxiety, aggression, overexcitement, and fear. More importantly, we explore how understanding what’s happening inside a dog’s brain allows trainers and owners to tailor their approach, creating calmer, more confident dogs and more effective training sessions.
Whether you're a professional dog trainer, a passionate dog owner, or just someone curious about the science behind behavior, this episode offers a fascinating look at the biological forces shaping your dog’s actions—and how you can use that knowledge to your advantage.
