Scott is a Nomadic K9 Life Coach traveling throughout the contiguous US (the lower 48s) going wherever the dogs need him. He is supported by his 2 dogs, Roxie & Blue who enjoy the adventures they can have together.
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 with a keen interest in the various branches of Neuroscience.
