Raymond J. McSoley is founder of Animal Behavior Associates . He is the author of "Dog Tales" and a new book "A Ray of Hope - Helping Dogs with People Problems" - will be published soon. He has been in practice for over 25 years and has travelled extensively here and abroad working with dogs. Ray has dedicated his life's work to helping owners understand their dogs. As a result, he saved thousands from being euthanized or becoming pound dogs.

He is the behavior consultant at the Buddy Dog Humane Society here in Sudbury, MA and the Best Friend Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. His work there is to evaluate the dogs and set up training programs for the staff. This enables the staff to work with the dogs so the time in the kennel is shortened.

McSoley is a well-known lecturer and media commentator on canines. He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, national and local. Articles and stories have been written about him in Yankee Magazine, the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and most major newspapers in the United States for his common sense approach to solving the most common behavior problems in dogs.
