Reimagining a Dog Psychology Centre: The Future of Complex Behavioural Recovery with Roman Gottfried

In this episode of Dog Parentology, we challenge conventional approaches to dog behaviour, dog training, and dog psychology with a thought-provoking conversation on complex behavioural recovery. Host Sparky, Canine Psychologist and Behaviourist, is joined by Roman Gottfried, a holistic behaviour consultant with a background in systems thinking and product engineering, to discuss what truly defines a Dog Psychology Centre—not as a facility, but as an ecosystem of ideas, collaboration, and science-driven rehabilitation.

🔹 Key topics covered:

• Behavioural euthanasia: When is it truly the only option, and when is it a failure of the system?

• Dog trauma and neurobiology: Understanding the hidden influences of genetics, early development, and environmental factors.

• Dog trainers, veterinarians, and dog behaviourists: The missing collaboration between professionals that leads to treatment gaps.

• Canine neurobiology and system science (CNSS): A new way to assess and rehabilitate behaviour beyond basic training models.

• The role of dog parents in recovery: Why intuition, observation, and co-regulation matter as much as professional expertise.

For dog professionals, veterinarians, and dedicated dog parents, this episode provides a deep dive into dog behaviour analysis, holistic education, and interdisciplinary teamwork, reshaping the way we approach complex cases in canine rehabilitation.
