As Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists, from our business beginnings over 30 years ago to today, we’ve based our own successful behavior consulting practice on scientific principles – even when what science said – wasn’t popular.
Twenty years ago, Dr. Hetts was booed on the stage for saying that science showed “being dominant” didn’t make much sense when it came to creating good relationships with dogs. And a local humane society refused to publish her article that offered alternatives to dominance ideas in their newsletter.
We were ahead of the curve then – based on science – and we’ll help keep you ahead of the curve now with The Professional’s System for Decoding and Applying Canine Behavior Science that teaches YOU to decipher the scientific method and apply its principles to your practice.
As trained behavior scientists, we know how to interpret scientific research. We’ll show you the good science you can rely on – much of which never makes the popular press. And we’ll help you avoid the bad science and the misrepresentations of good science, both of which helped perpetuate harmful dog training myths that we all STILL are trying to make go away today.

1. What Does It Mean to Be "Scientific" or "Science Based?"
This TWO SESSION course is one of the ESSENTIAL COURSES in the Academy. How can one claim to be "science based" without understanding what science is? In this course we’ll address the use of the word “science” in animal related activities and how the word is often misused to make procedures, information, or techniques seem better than they really are. We’ll illustrate the issues with examples of claims and studies from animal behavior, training and behavior consulting.
Value : $197
2. How to Evaluate "Scientific" Claims and Research
This TWO SESSION course is one of the ESSENTIAL COURSES in the Academy.
To critically read and evaluate whatever "science says" claims, you must know what to look for. We teach you how to use our four step checklist; why you must know the difference between research data results, conclusions and interpretations. You'll learn about common research flaws and how to better spot them, and the danger to your success and to the field of dog training when research flaws go unrecognized.
Value: $197
3. Amazing Feats of Canine Cognition
In this TWO SESSION course we'll show you videos of a real example of the Clever Hans effect, and why its presence can both contribute to behavior problems as well as be useful when modifying them. You'll be amazed at what you see demonstrated and WHY looking for this effect can provide you with important alternative explanations for certain behaviors.
Value: $197
4. Scientific Basis for Socialization
A body of literature exists about the development of social behavior in social species of animals that has often been ignored when it comes to our pets. From socialization protocols that claim to produce "super dogs" to the value of puppy classes, we ask - and TELL you "What does the research say?" You'll be making better, more justifiable recommendations to your clients.
TWO session course.
Value: $149
5. Intelligence of Dogs and Other Critters
In this TWO SESSION course we'll critique some of the most recent research, address what intelligence really means and compare and contrast the different ways scientists are attempting to measure it.
Our expanding knowledge of the cognitive and emotional abilities of animals have ramifications you probably haven't even thought of which may, or may not, be good for dogs in the long-run.
Value: $147
6. Interpreting the Research of
Scott and Fuller
The depth and breadth of the research conducted by animal behaviorists Dr. John Paul Scott and Dr. John Fuller is more extensive than anything that's been done since yet most trainers and behavior consultants are unaware of their findings.
In this course we explain in detail a selection of findings from Scott and Fuller that are most applicable to trainers and consultants. In our opinion, one can't be a science based trainers without being aware of their seminal findings and how they contradict many of the "sacred cows" in dog training.
Value: $97
7. Is It All About the Genes?
This CAABChat with Dr. Alice Moon-Fanelli and Dr. Steve Zawistowski, both of whom are trained as behavior geneticists, reveals the methods behind genetic research. You'll discover how popular misconceptions skew our perceptions of what behavior genetic research is all about, and what it can and cannot conclude about genetic influences on behavior.
Value: $97
8. An Interview with Dr. Clive Wynne
Dr. Wynne discusses his research on canine cognition and the differences among owned pet dogs, dogs in shelters, and wolves in how they attend to visual cues from people. Dr. Wynne also discussed his recent visit to Russia and his conversations with Dr. Andrei Poyarkov regarding the "subway" dogs in Russia.

Sharon W., ACAAB, NH"What an outstanding program!! I finished the Decoding & Applying Canine Science program and I LOVED it!! Each module was well thought out and discussed. What a fantastic resource for anyone interested in animal behavior. This course should be a requirement for anyone in the dog training/behavior industry. Well, actually for anyone to learn to be a critical thinker rather than take information at face value. Thank you for sharing your expertise."
Stacey H., NC"The most important "take away" was helping clients make decisions regarding the process for socializing their puppy. It helped me know what advice to give them, clear up misconceptions about what socialization is, and give them a common sense approach to providing positive experiences for their dogs. "
