I love science, especially the behavioral sciences. That’s why I couldn’t be happier to announce that my baby boy, Jamie, has finished his epic ode to science, a project he’s been working on for over 7 years!

Thanks to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, January is National Train Your Dog Month .
We have special days and weeks and months to draw attention to a particular cause that is in dire need for attention.
