I began teaching over 35 years ago. It all began with a single course for veterinary assistants. Over 42,000 students have taken these courses and they are still gaining in popularity. In the last few years, I've helped develop the courses you can explore on this website as well as holistic courses at www.newearthvet.com



I became a veterinarian in 1983 and opened a practice with my wife Louise (also a veterinarian) in 1995. Since then, we've specialized in caring for cats and dogs. Each and every day, working with other people's pets continues to be challenging and fun. And yes, our home is filled with animals.



I've been a regular contributor to several pet magazines and newspapers and have contributed over a thousand articles over the years. Many magazines like the AKC Gazette and the CKC Dogs in Canada are gone, but you can still see my articles in the AKC Family Dog.



My courses came about because I realized that there are lots of people who want to use the best methods to train and modify the behavior of our four-legged friends. and, I wanted to help people explore the holistic world.
