At All Fur Fun we believe that good dog owners are educated dog owners. While in class we strive to provide you with as much information founded in science as well as from our own experiences. But sometimes a little backup is needed. Here we have provided you with links and documents that round out the ideas and methods we use in class and with you and your dog. Also you can find links to articles on dog nutrition, puppy care, and health.

A veterinary behaviorist has a DVM, did at least one year in practice or an internship, did a residency (normally 3 years; as an exception, if they have a strong background in behavior it may only be 2 years), published a research paper in behavior, submitted case reports that passed a peer review, and passed a board exam. They also have to be a member in good standing of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.
A Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist has a PhD in a behavior-related field, has a specified number of academic credits in various fields related to behavior, has submitted case reports that passed a review, is a member in good standing of the Animal Behavior Society, and abides by a code of ethics.
The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior is a society of veterinarians (also has non-veterinary associate members) who are interested in animal behavior. Membership in that society is not a qualification. Many of the members do behavior counselling.
