In addition to cutting edge research presentations and clinical case presentations, the VBS is thrilled to present our keynote speaker, Dr. Raymond Coppinger. Dr. Coppinger (and his colleagues and students) have published over fifty papers on his dog research. You will know him by his latest book, co-authored with Lorna Coppinger; DOGS: A Startling New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior and Evolution published by Scribner in 2001. It has been translated into 7 languages. Dr. Coppinger’s keynote presentation is entitled: How Dogs Work: an ethological approach to understanding animal behavior.
