About the Author

Duff Lueder and a Collie dog became devoted friends when Duff visited his aunt and uncle's farm in the summers of his childhood. Their bond strengthened when the Collie saved 12-year-old Duffy's life. Duff cherished the memory of this demonstration of devotion between one species and another, but it wasn't until 1981 when he became a certified K-9 dog handler as part of his law enforcement career that he was given the opportunity to understand, appreciate, and reestablish that bond between dog and human. He learned how dogs learn, think, and perceive their surroundings and how to communicate with them based on their views and understanding of the world. In 1992 Duff developed his KNINEPAL TRAINING & BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROGRAM. Bettie LaDuke and her dog (Dusty) are two of many graduates of this program.
