Guest Bio
Dr Kathy Murphy qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the Royal Veterinary College in 1999. After spending several years in mixed practice she moved to the University of Oxford where she completed two specialised clinical qualifications and was awarded a Wellcome Trust Fellowship for her PhD in behavioural neuroscience. Kathy is the director of Barking Brains, a platform sharing information about neuroscience with animal trainers, behaviourists and interested dog owners. Additionally she is the Chief Scientific Officer for Behavior Vets LLC and Oversight Committee member for the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter.
Show Description
In this conversation, Part 2 of this series, Dr. Kathy Murphy discusses a wide range of topics related to canine neuroscience including brain development during both puppyhood and adolescence; the impact of spaying and neutering; the behavioral implications of sleep disruption; whether or not dogs really do dream; and the vital role of play for both dog and human.
She emphasizes that puppy socialization should focus on building resilience and tolerance, rather than just tolerance. In adolescence, she explains that the dog brain goes through changes that lead to increased risk-taking and decreased impulse control. It is important to understand that the adolescent brain struggles with impulse control more than the puppy brain. Recognizing the challenges of adolescence can help set dogs up for success and prevent frustration and abandonment.

ABOUT THE SHOW
In this interview, Dr. Kathy Murphy explores the field of neuroscience as it relates to understanding how dogs think and behave and how more knowledge in this area leads to successful outcomes for pet parents. The fascinating similarities between human and dog brains are discussed, highlighting that while there are anatomical and cellular similarities, there are also differences in brain structure and development trajectories. In glossary form, there's a captivating discussion around neurotransmitters and neuroeconomics and how these phenomena impact behavior. You'll learn about phenotypes, genotypes, coupling, functional connectivity, and how a dog thinks and grieves. From time to time, the conversation touches on the ethical considerations of brain research in dogs.
