Norma Jeanne created CCS – Canine Correspondence Studies: Professional Dog Trainer Certification Career Courses in 1994 to help students realize their dream of becoming a highly qualified and respected certified, positive dog trainer, behaviour therapist and/or aggression therapist. She was tired of dog owners and dog trainers making excuses for abusing dogs in the name of dog training. NJ made it her mission to teach the importance and application of scientifically proven and positive dog training, behaviour therapy and aggression therapy in order to nurture well-trained dogs while protecting their temperament and emotional wellbeing. She has since trained over 700 quality positive dog trainers in 17 countries and the CCS family of positive dog trainers and behaviour consultants continues to grow worldwide.

IPDTA continues to set the international standard for humane dog training and is connecting clients with quality, positive dog trainers worldwide. Dog Training Books & Courses
​Norma Jeanne is a published author, Founder & Chair of the International Positive Dog Training Association, former Editor in Chief for the Canadian Association Of Professional Pet Dog Trainers, and content contributor to numerous industry magazines including Pets and Animals, Dogster and Animal Wellness. The CCS dog training courses are well-known and highly respected by dog guardians and professional dog training experts around the globe.

​​Norma Jeanne created touch-free and fear-free dog training, behaviour and aggression therapy programs using motivation to nurture mutual trust and respect, and to teach dogs to think for themselves and make correct choices. Her science based dog training philosophy is that dogs learn to problem-solve and choose desired behaviours in order to affect a pleasant outcome or obtain a valued resource. With repetition, the dog will default to the desired behaviour. Positive does not mean permissive. Self-control is taught, and respect is mutual when utilizing benevolent leadership, resource control and a thorough understanding of canine communication. When we nurture trust and mutual respect we create a well-trained dog with a resilient temperament while protecting its emotional wellbeing. Norma Jeanne lives in the countryside of beautiful North Eastern Ontario, Canada with her partner Greg Ceci and their beloved dogs. She looks forward to guiding you to a happy and fulfilling life and dog training career of your own. Visit our curriculum page to find out what you’ll learn.

THANK YOU Greg Ceci AND CHRIS JOHNSTONE-LAURETTE!!!

Both Greg and my brother Chris have been avid and discerning readers their entire lives. They’re both fantastic editors – highly intelligent, creative, proficient, intuitive, meticulous, perceptive and always understanding of my vision. An exceptional writer in his own right, Greg has been an invaluable editor and sounding board for everything I write. Chris has likewise played a critical role, carefully reviewing our books after publication and providing valuable feedback that has improved each of them. This time I asked Chris if he’d be willing to do a final edit on Dogs Examined before going to print and he agreed. Editing an entire book is no small feat, especially with their attention to detail. I can’t say enough about how a good edit is so worth the wait! Thank you so much Greg and Chris! Dogs Examined will be so much better because of you!

"I just finished editing your book Dogs Examined. Very ambitious. Very scholarly. Lots of important material I haven’t seen covered in any other book. Cool stuff!” Christopher Johnstone-Laurette

"Dogs Examined is not your typical dog book. With decades of experience, Norma Jeanne is taking a no-holds barred swing at topics others refuse to address. The vet industry is a victim of corporate capture. The pet dog industry is riddled with lies and corruption. Dog fear, anxiety and stress has never been more prevalent. Canine stereotypes and prejudice are running rampart and you've been lied to about what's best for your dog. Here's the kicker. All of it is affecting both your human-canine bond as well as your dog's health, wellness, innocence and carefree joy of life. The book is meticulously researched, easy to read and contains vital new information all dog guardians should be aware of to make informed decisions about how they care for, train, stimulate, and deeply bond with their dogs. Bravo to Norma Jeanne for having the courage to write this book.” Greg Ceci

"Norma Jeanne’s passions have stirred her to take on some controversial issues. She does this, not as some opinion-based “influencer” but as someone who has reviewed the actual data and carefully analyzed the information before adopting a particular stance. Individuals will find that her presentation of the science and her in-depth discussions are worth reading and thinking about. They reflect rational considerations but also her caring and emotional involvement with dogs and the people who love them. This is not just a book you read and put down, but rather a book that you read and find yourself thinking about long after. It is passion mixed with science.” Dr. Stanley Coren, Phd, DSc, FRSC, Vancouver, Canada – World-renowned scientist, professor of psychology, author of over 30 best-selling books including: How Dogs Think, The Intelligence of Dogs, and How To Speak Dog. He is a dog trainer, radio and television personality and host of the “Good Dog!” television show.

In the study of dog behaviour, one concept that explains sudden, unpredictable and exaggerated reactions is trigger stacking. This term refers to the accumulation of stressors (both minor and major) that build up over time, leading to a critical threshold where the dog can no longer cope. Once this....
