For some behavioral problems a dog may need to take a break from the city and spend a little time at Kevin Behan's farm in Vermont.
 
Kevin's father was a famous trainer of the 1950s. Kevin grew up working in his dad's kennel, and trained his first dog at age ten. As he matured, so did his ideas about dogs. By carefully watching the workings of nature, Kevin began to see that what made the modern dog trainable was not the dominance hierarchy, as taught by his father, but the dog's ability to work as a cooperative group member in the hunt, a concept he first wrote about in 1992 in what has become the most influential training manual in America, Natural Dog Training.
