The missing link

Join us for this engaging two-part course that takes a deep dive into the inner workings of a dog's brain while exploring how and why Emotions Affect Behavior. Expect to have many aha-moments as you apply ADB in the real world. This will make it so much easier for you to offer meaningful answers and solutions to your clients. Let's give them one more reason to come back to you rather than jump from method to method. 

There's a reason other canine professionals and dog owners call ADB "the missing link".

K9 Life Coaching/Affective Dog Behavior disclaimer: Affective Dog Behavior is a combination program founded of experience, skills and Dr. Jaak Panksepp's Affective Neuroscience as well as Social Neuroscience and various research in general Neuroscience. While your ADB Team is knowledgeable in the topics covered within the program, the Team continually adds new knowledge through their efforts in translating ongoing modern (neuro)science into "dog". That said, please understand that the ADB Team is not a team of scientists but a team of canine professionals who with a keen interest in the various branches of Neuroscience. 
Our mission: In the scope of Affective Dog Behavior, it is our mission to (1) collect and translate into "dog" research that will help us better understand and connect with dogs, (2) make said research and translations easily accessible, understandable and relatable to non-professional and professional dog guardians, (3) embrace and follow a community and connection-oriented approach where social equity, diversity and equality are not only encouraged but a foundational pillar, (4) continue on our path of self-education and our commitment to providing reliable up-to-date information to our members and non-member readers.
