Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

127. Its All About The Dogs...with Clive Wynne (Archived- Special Ep 27)
Q: What makes dogs and humans connect so well?
Dogs don't plan for the future and instead live in the moment, which fosters strong emotional bonds.
120. Should We Rethink Dog Neutering? Behavioral Insights from Dr. Stanley Coren (S13)
Q: Would you recommend that the dog get that hormonal development too as a female dog before being neutered or spayed in this case?
Dr. Coren suggests hysterectomy instead of spaying to maintain hormones for better temperament and behavior in female dogs.
120. Should We Rethink Dog Neutering? Behavioral Insights from Dr. Stanley Coren (S13)
Q: Should a female dog go through heat before being impregnated the first time?
Some believe young dogs should go through one full cycle to develop hormonal influences before breeding, but complications can arise if they're impregnated too early due to their bodies not being ready.
124. What Can a Matriarchal Society Teach Us About Sex and Compassion? A Bonobo Perspective with Dr. Lori Gruen (S13)
Q: Could you just give us a basic introduction to the differences between chimpanzees and bonobos?
Bonobos and chimpanzees are closely related but very distinct. Chimpanzees have male-dominated societies, while bonobos are matriarchal, meaning the females dominate socially, leading to very different social interactions.
125. Aggression in Dogs with Suzanne Clothier (Archived from the AiD Conference 2022)
Q: What would you hope that people really took away from that?
To give trainers something practical to walk away with.
