Stress, Happy Dogs and Play: A Chat with Neuroscientist, Dr. Melanie
from Barkology: Unleash your dog’s potential · host Angelique de Kock & Chantal Karyta
In this episode, Chantal and Angelique chat with Dr. Melanie Uhde. the founder and head behaviorist of Canine Decoded in Atlanta, USA. She started her studies in Germany, where she completed her Ph.D. in Natural Sciences. Then moved to New York in 2014 to continue research at Columbia University, diving deep into Neuroscience and Immunology. Yet, a transformative experience in Thailand shifted her perspective: true academia should touch real lives. Her life then took another turn with the adoption of her GSD, Harvey. Navigating the dog training universe, I saw a disturbing divide—many trainers prioritized methods over empathy. This inspired Canine Decoded - a brand that intertwines science, empathy, and simplicity.
