 Full Name: Casey Lomonaco

Age: Less than five dog years

Location: Upstate New York

Where You Can Stalk Me on the Internet: My website, my Facebook page, and on Twitter. 

What I Do for a Living: Teach dogs, people, and dog trainers how to coexist more peacefully through dog-friendly training techniques.

What I Do for Fun: Hiking, reading, camping, swimming, listening to music, and playing videogames!

The Furry Members of My Household Are: Mokie, a female Chow mix; Cuba, a male Saint Bernard; Ahab, a three-legged kitty; and Eartha Kitty, a black and white long-haired cat.

My Favorite Things to Write About Are: Dog training and behavior; how people and dogs can understand and enjoy each other better.

My Pet Peeve Is: Umm ... my editor said we were supposed to keep this short, so it may be best to skip this one. No, really, it’s people who eat too loudly. And people who drive 30 in a 65 zone. I also don’t like people who harm or disrespect animals or other people. Or censorship. Or that I can never again look forward to the publication of a new Harry Potter book. Are you still listening?!

My Guilty Pleasures Are: Wine, dark chocolate, and nearly anything with chocolate. Videogames. 

How I Deal with Dog Hair: Very carefully. Not as frequently as I should.

Who I Want to Be When I Grow Up: Bob Bailey. If you don’t know who he is, find out!
