I am a behavioral scientist with a fascination for dogs and their wild relatives. A psychology professor who directs the Canine Science Collaboratory at Arizona State University in Tempe, I am also the Director of Research at Wolf Park in Battle Ground, IN. Anyone can take a class with me through edX where I have a series on dog origins, behavior and cognition.
