Applied Ethology with Kim Brophey

Kim Brophey is an applied ethologist and professional Family Dog Mediator™ working to solve problems between people and dogs with modern science.  Kim is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC), a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA)

I’ve seen Kim’s presentation on Ethology for Dogs in the Aggression in Dogs Master Course and the Aggression in Dogs Conference, and both times I was blown away by her level of knowledge, experience, and information.

I’m currently reading Kim’s book “Meet Your Dog”, The Game Changing Guide to Understanding Your Dogs Behavior.  

You can see more about Kim on her website dogdoorcanineservices.com.
