Meet Your Harvard Educated Professional Animal Behaviorist / Dog Behaviorist / Dog Trainer President, Founder & CEO of TLC K9 ACADEMY and creator of the "TLC Gentle Touch¢'...¾¢" Method of Dog Training, Executive Director & Head of Research for (ACCBS) Arizona Center for Canine Behavioral Studies. Bill was born and raised with wolves, or so we think, either that or he must have canine DNA in his blood! He has a passion for animals and dog behavior. "Amazing," a "Magician," the "Real" Dog Whisperer, these are just some of the words dog owners have used to describe the magic, ease, and rapport, when seeing Bill connect with animals. One person accused Bill of using some form of "Hypnosis," to put a dog into a trance. The amazing connection Bill has with animals can look magical, and his ability to tap into the minds and behavior of dogs and puppies seems at times to be hypnotic. Whatever the magic, Bill has been "Dancing with Dogs," since 1976, for over 35 years. He has frequently been called in as a consultant when other notable trainers like Ceaser Millan, the dog whisperer have not had success. "We get a couple of Ceaser's clients each year. We provide the best most comprehensive dog training and puppy training anywhere. We take dog training to a whole new level!" There is a science and an art to training a dog, or training puppies. At the young age of 10, Bill was competing, showing and titling dogs in AKC Dog Obedience Matches. Bill's Formal education rests in both Undergraduate and Graduate Work in Psychology and other Behavior Science Disciplines. He recently completed postgraduate study and coursework at Harvard University in Canine Cognition. Bill is currently the Executive Director & Head of Research for (ACCBS) Arizona Center for Canine Behavioral Studies. He has also worked as a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, counseling Children, Families and Adults. Bill is 1 of Only 2 Applied Animal Behaviorists in the entire State of Arizon

I have always been fascinated with statistics, especially ones involving sports. I fell in love with sports while watching it on TV with my Dad and brothers. I was fortunate to grow up near Chicago where I could watch Michael Jordan and the Bulls play, and of course we always watched Monday night football no matter who was playing. Other than that, probably the biggest single contributor to my interest in sports was the sports page of the Chicago Tribune... Back then the newspaper was the only way I could get the latest sports stats, schedule, standings, and headlines. There was no internet and we didn't have cable TV (so no ESPN). It was great, every morning I would jump out of bed, run to the front porch, and grab the paper. I was homeschooled my whole life and got my GED after turning 18. I then went on to college where I majored in Athletic Training. I went to college for Athletic Training, and graduated in 2008. I ended up changing career plans after 1 year of working as an athletic training and now joining the Air Force in hope of becoming a tech geek.
