Training Without Conflict® Podcast Episode Sixty: Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring

SSRIs, Dogs, and the Chemical Lobotomy No One Wants to Talk About - with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Josef, a board-certified psychiatrist, former FDA medical officer, and one of the few voices brave enough to speak publicly about what SSRIs are really doing to people… and what that means for dogs.

The so-called “safe and effective” narrative is crumbling.

What we’re seeing instead are emotional numbness, cognitive damage, and permanent changes to the brain, and not just in humans.While the AVSAB continues to push SSRIs as a behavioral fix for dogs, the evidence of harm is mounting.

In this conversation, we dismantle the myth of the “chemical imbalance,” and challenge the blind faith many trainers and veterinarians have placed in psychiatric drugs.

If you’re a trainer, vet, or dog owner who cares about animal welfare, this is a conversation you can’t ignore.

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• Is the “chemical imbalance” theory real science or outdated marketing?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 .

Training Without Conflict® Podcast Episode Fifty-Eight: Jan Van Maren

In this episode, I have a conversation with a good friend and excellent helper Jan Van Maren.

For those who know him, he needs no introduction, but for those who don’t, he is a highly respected world-level IGP helper from the Netherlands.

He was the helper at the 2017 WUSV World Championship and was also brought in to be helper at the 2017 Brazilian IPO Championships.
