The Maverick: ADB has played a significant role in paving the way for a more holistic trend, but it didn't stop there. A holistic perspective only holds value when it honors the dog's internal processes.

 

​The missing link: ADB teaches insights that are often described as "the missing link".

​

Responsibility: As professionals we bear the responsibility to understand more than just canine behavior, learning theory and techniques to change the dog's behaviors. We must strive to understand "dog".

​

CARE First: Helping dogs and their people feel safe through emotional connection.

 

The science: ADB, with its distinctive CARE First approach are fundamentally rooted in Dr. Jaak Panksepp's Affective Neuroscience and supported by Social Neuroscience and general neuroscience. We go down the rabbit holes, so you don't have to.

 

Why it matters: A highly polarized and costly dog training industry causes much confusion and frustration for dog owners. Many feel let down by trainers who lack meaningful answers and solutions to even the simplest questions. Understanding the science enables you to approach their concerns from a fresh angle - one that sets you apart from other trainers.

​
