I am enjoying this course and am learning quite a bit. Behavior is one of my main interests as a trainer as I think understanding it helps to design training and living programs for the animal.

This was an informative and enjoyable course. I really was only interested in the dog part, as I am allergic to cats! I look forward to using my new knowledge when I get a puppy.

The course is very interesting and informative. It tells about all the different aspects about behavior of cats and dogs including the history and myths behind it.

Much of the information in this course is specific to either dogs or to cats. Since my interest is only in dogs, I would have liked to be able to skip the other.

The course was informative. I take one star because a few videos were not built up as a lesson and made note taking annoying.
