About Ian Dunbar
Veterinarian, dog trainer and animal behaviorist Ian Dunbar says understanding our pets' point of view will allow us to build better relationships with them — and with our friends and children too. His decades of research on hierarchical social behavior and aggression in domestic animals give him a dog's-eye view of human beings. He is the founder of the Sirius Dog Training company and has written books including How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks and The Good Little Dog Book.
