I love hearing from you!
I receive as many 100 e-mails a week asking for help with specific problems. As much as I'd
like to, I just can't provide specific advice about a specific problem without the benefit of
observing the dog myself. There is a wealth of information here in cyberspace, but no
website is a substitute for a professional, in-person evaluation.
I *do* read your mail and I will respond if I have something to say other than "Get
professional help". To find a qualified trainer or behavior counselor in your area go to the
Association of Pet Dog Trainers website and click on "trainer search".
If you are contacting me regarding reprint permission for your newsletter, animal shelter,
class hand-out or similar reason the answer is "Yes". Please e-mail the basics about where
the reprint will be used and, if possible, a copy of the publication. I am not particularly
possessive about my articles and essays. If your intent is noble and your goal is to help
dogs and human understand each other better then I'm likely to be OK with it. If your intent
is to profit off of other people's efforts, we might have a problem.
My favorite websites and groups:
Aggression
This Yahoo group (agbeh) offers great advice for owners who have dogs with aggression
issues.
Clicker Solutions
This website is much more than an explanation of clicker training. There are top notch
articles on all areas of canine behavior.
Flying Dog Press
Excellent articles covering many aspects of behavior and training.
Petdogs-L
E-mail group with a wide variety of topics and a wide variety of member experience. This is
the perfect e-mail list for the first time dog owner or a canine professional.
Thank you and good luck!
