About the Science

Please excuse the chaos on this page, but this is where we give credit when credit is due. Where we acknowledge those who so generously provide their scientific knowledge with the public. Affective Dog Behavior wouldn't be what it is today without the wisdom and seemingly tireless work of these outstanding researchers:

Dr. Jaak Panksepp - Affective Neuroscience

Dr. Dan Siegel - Social Neuroscience

Prof. Robert Sapolsky - Neuroendocrinologist

Dr. Frans de Waal - Ethologist

Dr. Stuart Brown - National Play Institute

K9 Life Coaching/Affective Dog Behavior disclaimer: Affective Dog Behavior is a combination program founded of experience, skills and Dr. Jaak Panksepp's Affective Neuroscience as well as Social Neuroscience and various research in general Neuroscience. While your ADB Team is knowledgeable in the topics covered within the program, the Team continually adds new knowledge through their efforts in translating ongoing modern (neuro)science into "dog". That said, please understand that the ADB Team is not a team of scientists but a team of canine professionals who with a keen interest in the various branches of Neuroscience. 
Our mission: In the scope of Affective Dog Behavior, it is our mission to (1) collect and translate into "dog" research that will help us better understand and connect with dogs, (2) make said research and translations easily accessible, understandable and relatable to non-professional and professional dog guardians, (3) embrace and follow a community and connection-oriented approach where social equity, diversity and equality are not only encouraged but a foundational pillar, (4) continue on our path of self-education and our commitment to providing reliable up-to-date information to our members ad non-member readers.
