I’m Dina Zaphiris, a professional dog trainer, author, educator, and lifelong animal lover with more than 30 years of experience helping dogs and their people thrive together. My career has included television, search and rescue, service-dog education, and pioneering canine scent-detection work, but my greatest passion has always been making practical, trustworthy information accessible to everyday dog owners.

Here you’ll find fresh-food recipes, helpful training guides, and other resources created to make life with your dog healthier, happier, and more fun. My online dog-training courses are also available, and my new book, 101 Mistakes Humans Make to Mess Up Their Dogs, is coming soon!

Follow along at @dinadog1 for training tips, new products, and plenty of happy dogs. 🐾❤️
