McConnell is a professor of Zoology at the University of Wisconsin, a certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, owner of a family dog training business that specializes in dog aggression, sheep farmer, and herding dog enthusiast. She’s well-known and her work and writings are highly respected in dog training circles.

This book is a staple for anyone who loves dogs.
