What’s the best way to train an animal?
Stale Cheerios will help you learn new knowledge and techniques to take your training skills to the next level. Join me as we explore the best strategies for creating fast learning, effective communication, and enthusiastic, willing animals.

I have a Master of Science in Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas and currently own an animal training and consulting business in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. On this site I share stories of my animal training adventures, information about the science of animal training and behavior, and tips to help you improve your training. I work with a variety of species, including horses, dogs, and more.
