The Puppy Training Experts I Trust

I've spent a lot of time reading (and applying) information about puppy training. Some good and some not so good. It's hard to know who to trust when there is so much information out there about how to train your puppy. That's part of the reason why I decided to start this blog. I felt the need to spread the word about the RIGHT way to train your puppy.

Here is a short list of some people I have come to trust over the years. I hope you will learn as much as you can about these people and listen to what they have to say about puppy training. Their advice is invaluable.

  • Ian Dunbar, PhD--to me and many others, Dr. Dunbar is the REAL dog whisperer.
  • Nicholas Dodman, BVMS, MRCVS--Program Director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at Tufts University. (I once interviewed Dr. Dodman for an article I wrote on submissive urination. He is a super-smart and super-nice guy!)
  • Andrew Luescher, DVM, PhD, DACVB--Director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at Purdue University
  • Jean Donaldson--Director of the San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers
This is just a short list to get you started. There are a few more I'd like to list but I'll save them for a future post. :-)
