The Cleveland Animal Protective League and North Coast Dogs are proud to welcome Emily Weiss, Ph.D. to Cleveland for a two day workshop April 25 & 26, 2004.

Emily Weiss, Ph.D., Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, has dedicated her life to developing positive, humane animal behavior programs in order to make life better for all creatures. She divides her time among improving welfare for animals in shelters, companion animals, and zoo animals.

She developed the SAFER test, an aggression test now used by shelters across the United States. Dr. Weiss also created the Matchmaker - or Meet Your Match program, an adoption program designed to match dog to guardian based on behavior. She has developed programs to reduce stress and improve interaction with wild-caught animals housed in zoos.

Dr. Weiss is on the Board of Directors of the Animal Behavior Management Association, and is Section Editor of the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science. She travels across the country lecturing on various areas of applied animal behavior, works with individual clients nationwide, and is the Animal Behavior Consultant for the Wisconsin Humane Society, Kansas Humane Society, and many others.
