Kudos for Canines has been partnering with Dr. Val Farmer-Dougan of Mad Dog Manor Canine Behavior Consultations for a while, so I'm thrilled to announce that she's actually coming on as 'Staff' at the beginning of the year. Val comes to us with over 30 years of research in behavioral neuroscience - i.e. how animals learn! Her resume is as deep as it is wide and if you try to debate the science of dog training she will set your head spinning with facts and research papers. She is the local "Go To" person if you're trying to train a deaf and/or blind dog. Val already teaches our Reactive Rover and Therapy Dog classes, but it's great to have her more officially part of the Kudos family.
