From the APDT Founder

Dr. Ian Dunbar


The Louisville Conference is fast approaching - time to make new friends, to reconnect with long-time friends, and to top up the brain with doggy knowledge.  The Keynote Address will be given by a good friend of mine, equine veterinarian and cartoonist, Dr. Robert Miller.  Dr. Miller pioneered work on early (24-48 hour-old) socialization of foals - puppy training for horses - and he co-founded the Sierra Veterinary Medical Association for veterinarians (me included) who like to learn veterinary science while skiing.  

Dr. Miller is followed by a veritable pack of stellar speakers - simply the best of the best and far too good to miss.  And also, we get to play for a day!  Make sure you don't miss the APDT Play Symposium: "Play in Our Dogs' Lives".  See you all there.

Ian Dunbar
