What’s This Blog About?

Smart Animal Training Systems was started by Wes Anderson, engineer 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 and the broader animal training field. Together our goal is to bring forth and analyze the latest advances and challenges in the field of animal 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.
