I am a behavioral scientist with a fascination for dogs and their wild relatives.  At Arizona State University in Tempe, I am a psychology professor who directs the Canine Science Collaboratory. I am also the Director of Research at Wolf Park in Battle Ground, IN.

I was born and raised on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, studied at University College London, and got my Ph.D. at Edinburgh University before setting off on my travels. After time at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Duke University, Universität Konstanz, the University of Western Australia and the University of Florida, I came to Arizona State University in 2013.
