About this episode
In this Training Without Conflict® Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ori Stollar, also known as Dr. Orion on YouTube, a veterinarian and board-certified veterinary behaviorist specialist. (Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists).
Dr. Orion and I connected after he publicly responded to my critiques of the widespread use of SSRIs in dogs. To his credit, he agreed to come on the show for an open conversation.
We cover big questions in this episode:
• Is the “chemical imbalance” theory real science or outdated marketing?
• Are SSRIs really making dogs better, or just easier to live with?
• What’s the role of medication vs. training in resolving behavior problems?
Whether you’re a trainer, a veterinarian, or a dog owner trying to make sense of the growing push for pharmaceuticals, you need to hear both sides.
Enjoy listening .
