Dr. Frank McMillan is the Director of Well-Being studies at Best Friends Animal Society responsible for designing and conducting studies on psychological trauma and methods of assessing mental health and emotional well‐being; field rescue operations; teaching of interns.

In a large-scale study that looked at more than 1,100 dogs formerly used for breeding in puppy mills, it was found that these facilities are seriously detrimental to the well-being of the dogs kept there. A landmark new study finds that dogs used for breeding in large-scale commercial breeding operations (aka ‘puppy mills’) are psychologically harmed and show the effects for years after they leave the breeding facility. The study was done by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society in collaboration with Drs. James Serpell and Deborah Duffy at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and will be published in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science.

Dr. Frank McMillan said, “We always suspected the dogs in these facilities suffer emotionally because of the abnormal behaviors they show when they get out, but we can now scientifically confirm how truly destructive these places are for the dogs kept in them.” The study compared a wide array of psychological and behavioral characteristics of former breeding dogs recovered from puppy mills with those of standard pet dogs. A total of 1,169 former puppy mill dogs were included in the study.
Commercial breeding operations, or puppy mills, are large scale facilities where dogs are confined in small enclosures for their entire lives with little to no exercise or positive human contact—for the sole purpose of mass-producing puppies to sell in retail pet stores and via the Internet. “The results of the study indicate it really doesn’t matter if the breeding operation claims to be shiny and clean, abiding by the laws, or even whether or not they are licensed by the USDA,” McMillan said. “This study gives us strong evidence that the dogs kept in these large scale breeding facilities don’t just suffer while they’re confined there, but carry the emotional scars out with them for years even when they’re placed in loving homes. Many of the dogs show difficulty in simply coping successfully with normal day-to-day life.”
The results showed a broad range of abnormal findings in the former breeding dogs, including: significantly elevated levels of fears and phobias, pronounced compulsive and repetitive behaviors such as spinning in tight circles and pacing, house soiling, and a heightened sensitivity to being touched and picked up. McMillan said, “The most prominent difference was in the level of fear; compared to normal pet dogs, the chance of scoring in the highest ranges for fear was six to eight times higher in the recovered puppy mill dogs. Interestingly, the heightened fear was accompanied by a decreased chance of the dogs showing aggression.” The various exposés of puppy mills have typically focused on the filthy and unhealthy physical conditions where the dogs sometimes have only dirty water and moldy food to consume. By looking at the psychological rather than the physical harm experienced by the dogs, the new study offers a different perspective on the problem. McMillan said that, as written, current laws designed to protect the dogs from inhumane physical conditions do not provide adequate protection from the negative emotional effects. In working with and following these dogs’ progress, McMillan said, “The majority of the dogs improve over time, and it’s important to note that many of them lead very happy lives, but many also continue to struggle emotionally for the rest of their lives—just trying to gain comfort in a world we all take for granted. To them the world and all the people in it just can’t be trusted—it is something to always fear. The damage done to these dogs is heartbreaking.”

Part 1 of our discussion with Dr. Orman focused on defining what we mean by stress. The word stress can be used to mean different things. Orman stresses (pardon the pun) that there are both external and internal factors that contribute to what we perceive as stress. He points out that instead of dealing with “stress”—which often means dealing with the symptoms of stress—that we should be dealing more effectively with the root causes, the specific problems in our lives that make us feel stressed.

In today’s show, which is part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Orman, we discuss how hidden internal factors affect how we deal with our problems. He points out that one of the best ways to effectively deal with the stress is to develop greater self-awareness of how we deal with problems internally. He applies this to everything from family at the holidays to visits with physicians.

Dr. Orman offers a lot of free coaching on stress though his Internet website, www.DocOrman.com.

It’s dads. It’s Vince checking out vegetables. Or your daughter’s soccer coach, Marty, looking for mayonnaise. And don’t be surprised if you bump into Clint reading the labels on cleaning products in aisle 9. More and more dads are assuming the shopping responsibilities throughout homes in America. And brands are starting to notice. Today we are joined by well-known dad blogger Doug French who will shed some light on this emerging interest in dads who have visible voices in social media. Doug is also one of the co-founders of the Dad 2.0 Summit - an annual conference where marketers, social media leaders, and blogging parents connect to discuss the changing voice and perception of modern fatherhood.

Did you know that in 1950 43% of American families had both a mother and father living together under one roof? Did you know that today that percentage is less than 20%? Did you know that more women are getting bachelor degrees today than men? Do you know what kind of impact that is having on the decisions today’s modern family is making regarding child-rearing, home life, and consumption?

Stick around and join in this conversation. You’ll not only learn about the changing buying patterns of family’s like yours, you might start to look at your own buying patterns with a little more insight!
