Ian Dunbar

Dr. Ian Dunbar is a veterinarian and animal behaviorist who developed the SIRIUS® Puppy Training method in 1982 that revolutionized how puppies and dogs were trained. His unique lure/reward, off-leash training techniques provided an alternative to leash jerks, alpha rollovers, and other aversive means. SIRIUS techniques have been adopted and adapted by most thinking and caring dog trainers worldwide. The author of numerous bestselling books, including Before and After Getting Your Puppy, How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks, and Doctor Dunbar’s Good Little Dog Book, he also developed and wrote the American Kennel Club Gazette’s behavior column, which was voted “Best Dog Column” numerous times by the Dog Writers Association of America. He lives in Berkeley, California. DunbarAcademy.com
