Behavior Is Biological: Stress, Health, and Behavior
The relationship between the “mind” and the “body” has become an increasingly important focus in the dog behavior field. In fact, the connection is so close that many now describe it not as a link, but as true mind–body unity. In this quarter’s literature review webinar, Dr. Spaulding returns to the biological foundations of behavior, drawing on her PhD in biopsychology to explore how stress, physical health, and behavior continuously influence one another. Together, we’ll look at what the research suggests—and what it doesn’t—about how these systems interact, and what that means for the cases you see every day.
