Here’s some other locations on the internet I adore:

Kay Laurence:   Learning about Dogs

Although retired, Kay has played a major role in my journey as dog trainer and behaviouralist. Her books reflect her insightful knowledge and growth of concepts. A consistent and successful competitor at Crufts (Heelwork to Music/Canine Freestyle), Kay focused on meeting the needs and health of each dog and clear communication.

Else Verbeek:   Amazing Animal Minds.com

Based on scientific constructs, Else Verbeek has done the hard work to provide us with a solid scaffold to assist the anxious dog on their journey to recovery and into learning again.  Her ladder of ‘anxiety signals’ enables everyone to recognise when their dog is anxious and when and how to intervene.

Susan Friedman: Behaviour Works

Dr. Susan Friedman believes that ‘the relations between behaviour and the environment help us understand why animals do what they do and how we can help them’. Based on the science of ABC driving behaviour she has achieved amazing training outcomes.

NACSW: National Association of Canine Scent Work

Is the International Standard for K9 Nose Work. I gained my Certification from the 3 original founders of the NACSW (Ron Gaunt, Amy Herot and Jill Marie O’Brien) and returned many times to the US for further training and experience.  The Rockie Mountain Boot Camp was one of my favourites.
