Not Another Dog and Pony Show

Not Another Dog and Pony Show

by

Welcome to Not Another Dog and Pony Show, where animal behaviour and training professionals Lauren Fraser, MSc, FFCP, and Matthias Lenz, KPA graduate, FDM, are on a mission to connect dog and horse trainers from diverse backgrounds, through open-minded & friendly, philosophical discourse. We tackle our industry’s ‘dog and pony show’ issues head-on, encouraging our training and behaviour colleagues to learn from one another and consider things from outside one’s usual biases. We believe such unity is crucial for improving our industry and, ultimately, the welfare of animals.
