About the Authors
Stanley Coren is best known to the public for his popular books
on dogs and on general psychological issues. However, within the
scientific world, he’s also a highly respected scientist, a Professor
of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, and a Fellow of
the Royal Society of Canada.
His engaging writing style and his broad knowledge about the
behavior of dogs and people have made his books The Intelligence
of Dogs, Why We Love the Dogs We Do, What Do Dogs Know? , How
to Speak Dog, The Pawprints of History, How Dogs Think, Why Do
Dogs Have Wet Noses? , and Why Does My Dog Do That? all best-
sellers. Roger Caras, President of the ASPCA, and himself a best-
selling author of dog books, noted “Stanley Coren has an incredible
gift — the ability to take the most complex matters and make it all
seem so simple and clear.” Perhaps this is why Coren was named
Writer of the Year by the International Positive Dog Training
Association and is a sought-after contributor to a number of
national dog and pet magazines, including Pets Magazine, Modern
Dog, AnimalSense, Dog and Puppy Basics, and AKC Gazette.
Many professional associations have recognized Coren’s work with
service dogs, and he’s received awards from several major police
dog organizations, including the California Canine Narcotic Dog
Association and the British Columbia Police Canine Association.
His work with and knowledge of dogs has often caught the atten-
tion of the media, and he’s been the subject of feature articles in
People Magazine, USA Today, Time Magazine, Maclean’s, US News &
World Report, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco
Chronicle, Washington Post, and others. His affable manner has also
made him a popular guest with the broadcast media, and he’s been
featured on numerous television programs, including Oprah, Larry
King Live, Dateline, 20/20, Maurie Povich, Good Morning America,
Charlie Rose, and the Today Show. He currently hosts the national
TV series Good Dog! in Canada.
Sarah Hodgson, president of Simply Sarah Incorporated, has been
a trainer of dogs and their people in Westchester, New York, and
Southern Connecticut for more than 20 years. She’s the author of
eight dog-training books, including Puppies For Dummies, Dog Tricks
For Dummies, Puppies Raising & Training Diary For Dummies, Teach
Yourself Visually Dog Training, You and Your Puppy (co-authored
with James DeBitetto), DogPerfect, 2nd Edition, PuppyPerfect, and
Miss Sarah’s Guide to Etiquette for Dogs & Their People . In addition,
Sarah has produced two videos, patented a dog training leash (the
Teaching Lead), and invented many other products to simplify the
shared lives of dogs and people.
