In this episode, Dr. Feuerbacher joins co-hosts Lauren Novack (ACDBC, KPA-CTP, FPPE) and Ferdie Yau (MA, CPDT-KA) to talk about what it's like to build a Master's program in Applied Animal Behavior & Welfare and her ultimate goal of improving standards for animal training and welfare. We dive into:

What it was like to develop a Master's program at Virginia Tech in Applied Animal Behavior & Welfare from the ground up.
Challenging her students to question accepted training lores in order to advance our knowledge of applied animal behavior.
The need for more rigorous qualifications to become professional dog trainers and the injustice to dog guardians because of the system we have now.
Her thoughts on LIMA, CAT, and how she likes to train animals.
