The dog training and behaviour solutions are written by Mr. Mike Annan, a Canine Obedience Instructor, Professional Service Dog Trainer and Behaviourist. He teaches training classes at his Obedience school in Nanoose Bay and at the service dog training school where he runs the training department in Qualicum Beach (BC). However, the majority of his time is spent working with problem canine behaviour.
