#28 - Dr. Jessica Hekman: Does Dog Breed Affect Behavior?

In this week’s interview episode, we are joined by Dr. Jessica Hekman, a  veterinary researcher. Jessica has a fantastic skill, among many others, of taking really complex topics and distilling them into digestible tidbits of information that the average non-sciency person can understand. Currently, Jessica runs the Functional Dog Collaborative, a non-profit group, which supports the ethical breeding of healthy and behaviorally solid dogs. In this episode, you’re going to hear Emily and Jessica talk about:Undereducation overstates, especially when it comes to super complex topics like nature and nurtureBreed-specific enrichment, and why it may not be as important as you think it isThe nebulousness of science, and why pseudoscience is attractiveEmily & Jessica’s thoughts about long-term solutions for decreasing animal overpopulationYou can find the full show notes here.
