Hi Kayla, Where did you get your Certified Dog Behavior Consultant degree? Thank you.

Hi Mary! I applied for certification with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (iaabc.org). It’s a series of exams and case studies, then continuing education (and fees) to keep it up!
Hi Kayla… I’ve enjoyed your articles and think you’re terrific!
Long shot… but I wonder if you can recommend a serious trainer for my two Aussies. Also, do you know of any herding clubs or agility classes on Long Island that you could recommend. My guys are over reactive, insecure, bored and anxious.
Thank you!

Hi Chris! I don’t know anyone firsthand in Long Island but Sarah Dixon (who’s currently in Alberta) used to work there and has some herding Aussies – reach out to her? https://www.bnrbc.ca/
