Patrica McConnell Bio

Patricia is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviourist Emeritus (CAAB) who has made a lifelong commitment to improving the relationship between people and animals. She is known worldwide as an expert on canine and feline behavior and dog training, and for her engaging and knowledgeable dog training books, DVDs and seminars. Patricia has seen clients for serious behavioural problems since 1988, and taught “The Biology and Philosophy of Human/Animal Relationships” at the University of Wisconsin for 25 years.

A highly-sought after speaker on dog behavior and training, McConnell has presented seminars all over the United States, and in Canada, Germany, Australia, Sweden, Belgium, Scotland and New Zealand. She is the author of the much-acclaimed books The Other End of the Leash (which is now published in 13 languages), For the Love of A Dog: Understanding Emotions in You and Your Best Friend and her memoir, about trauma in people and dogs, The Education of Will.

Patricia and her husband Jim have two dogs, one confident cat and a very spoiled flock of sheep on a small farm in Southwestern Wisconsin. Her Border Collie, Maggie, along with Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Tootsie, keep her outside and active, and the love for her beloved Border Collie Willie will never die.

    I loved this podcast. Everything Patricia McConnell said. Also, Ryan, your follow-up questions were REALLY good. I’ve been a follower of this podcast since the beginning, and I think they you’ve hit your stride – the conversations are flowing in interesting and sometimes unexpected ways. Thanks!
