Advisory Committee ***
Appoints Leading Animal Behavior Experts From Across the Nation
*Denver (May 27, 2010) *
The American Humane Association has recruited an Animal Behavior and
Training Advisory Committee -- composed of representatives of major national
organizations and key opinion leaders in the field of animal behavior and
training -- which met for the first time today in Minneapolis.
Establishment of the Advisory Committee is one of the actions taken by
American Humanes board of directors and management team to create a new
culture of collaboration and partnership by joining and participating in
coalitions of organizations to derive the most good for the broadest number
of constituencies.
American Humane is committed to the honorable values and principles that we
have carried for more than 130 years, said George Casey, interim president
and CEO of American Humane. We intend to reflect a firm recommitment
through open and collaborative initiatives, such as this Committee and the
programs under its purview. It is our objective, as an organization, to
increasingly be viewed as a valuable and meaningful repository and source of
information that will grow professional capacity and competency in expanding
human-animal interactions awareness and

Chaired by Dr. Marie S. McCabe, senior vice president of American Humanes

- Oversee and provide guidance for an upcoming National Pet Dog Training
Summit.
- Provide content and editorial advice and oversight for the American
Humane Animal Behavior Resources Institute

.
- Provide advice, direction, oversight and guidance related to ongoing
objectives for American Humanes Human-Animal Interactions programs that are
consistent with the topics of animal behavior and training.
- Assist in developing principles and position statements to be adopted
by American Humane.
American Humane is committed to providing value to those involved with
human-animal interactions by helping to build competency and capacity for
professionals, as well as by being an advocate for those in the profession,
said McCabe. Thus, our advisory committees serve a key role by harnessing
the expertise and experience of members, developing science-based positions,
and setting the direction for American Humanes focus and programs.

Notice how there is nobody from the IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals).
Also, Steve Dale is great, but I'm not sure exactly why he's on there. He's a writer and radio personality. No offense, but he has his dog on an easy walk harness and he's not a trainer, I don't know what qualifications or experience he has as a "dog/cat behavior consultant" but he's no trainer.
