Sophia leaves a legacy through CattleDog Publishing, which is still growing.  It is based in Davis, California, with a regional office in Tuscola IL.  Dr Sally J. Foote is now executive director, keeping the mission of educating veterinary professionals, trainers and animal owners so they understand what motivates an animal to bring out the best behavior through trust in every interaction.  Decreasing the stress during veterinary care through low stress handling technique education was Dr. Yin’s passion, which lives on in our courses, DVDs, and books.
CattleDog Publishing products are available at DrSophiaYin.com and at 530-757-2383.  Dr Foote can be contacted at  [email protected] if you have suggestions or ideas for products and veterinary outreach.  She looks forward to seeing you at the Clinical Animal Behavior Symposium!
