I welcome inquiries from researchers, working dog breeders, and owners seeking to understand their herding dogs better. While I cannot provide individual training advice without a proper consultation, I'm happy to point you toward appropriate resources.

A Note on Response Times

I spend considerable time in the field, often in areas with limited connectivity. Please allow 5-7 working days for a response. If your matter is urgent, please indicate this in your subject line, though I should note that behavioral emergencies are rarely as time-sensitive as they feel in the moment.

For immediate training crises, please contact a certified applied animal behaviorist in your area who can provide in-person assessment. A behavior problem that has developed over months will not be solved by an email.
