Interests:
I am interested in all aspects of animal behavior. In particular, I am interested in how training affects animals’ behavioral time budgets. Does training have an impact on captive animals’ welfare? In addition to my academic work, dog agility is my obsession. I have a two year old Border collie (Park Ave’s Public Enemy Number One – Dillinger) who is currently in AKC excellent A Standard agility classes and in excellent A jumpers agility classes. Dilly and my other dog Mrs. Frisby, an Australian Shepherd, are currently having a blast learning how to herd sheep.
