Linn's blog on animal behaviour and training

I am enthusiastic in-my-spare-time positive reinforcement trainer (in my non-spare time I work with text, layout and illustration www.linnahlbom.com). I am also fascinated by animal behaviour in general and aim to collect some of my thoughts and findings here. The topics will range from wild animal behaviour to how to teach your dog things. Enjoy! Videos of my own training can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/wyvern10?gl=GB&hl=en-GB
