Endorsements

What clinicians and readers say.

"Aaron has dug deep into the psyche of the dog for an analytical understanding of dog behavior, cognition, and emotion. Instead of a table of 'how to' strategies that can be applied to all dogs and all behaviors, Aaron offers a three dimensional paradigm that gives the parent an understanding of 'why to' think, act and emote."

Joseph E. Schumacher, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

"Great for the 'dog parent' who is interested in establishing a safe, mutually rewarding relationship with their pet."

Joseph E. Schumacher, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

"Aaron's ability to decode canine behavior is a skill that ultimately leads to more self-awareness for the owner on the other end of the leash."

Andon Briggs, M.Ed., LPC, NCC

"A great educational resource for the misbehaving dog."

Andrew Rozsa, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology

"Transformed my chaotic life into one of peace, order, and the freedom to love and play."

From the book to the assessment

Put the model to work on your own dog.

Dr. Schumacher wrote that readers can plug their own dog's characteristics into Aaron's model for a unique analysis. The behavior assessment is that idea as a form: your answers, read against the theory, by Aaron.
