Smart Animal Training Systems was started by Wes Anderson, engineer,scientist and dog expert, to support the world of positive animal training through the use of smart technologies. Because I’m a scientist and behaviorist, Wes asked me to write for this blog, and help develop a portal for discussions within the dog community. Together our goal is to bring forth and analyze the latest advances and challenges in the field of dog behavior and training. If you’re a trainer, we’ll also share how we believe technology can help you develop a more successful and profitable business while providing additional help to your clients. If you’re a pet parent and dog enthusiast, you’ll find information and tools that may interest, challenge or intrigue you. Today’s science and understanding of the dog’s mind, coupled with modern technology can lead us into new ways of helping dogs and their humans live together.
As we progress in this journey together, we’ll invite guest writers to share their views with us and welcome any comments, suggestions or questions from our readers.

I have just come across this blog and am very interested to read more of your posts, Dr Cattet. I’m hoping you have provided references in most articles because I am trying to catch up on the literature around dogs and training to see if I can find a way to join this research field (I’m currently undertaking my PhD studies in psychology, but in people). If not, it would be great if you could provide some!
If you click on the references in blue, it will take you to the original articles. All my best in your studies!
