I interview them, Lisa is joined by Arden Moore who talks about the 2nd edition of her book, The Dog Behavior Answer Book: Understanding and Communicating with Your Dog and Building a Strong and Happy Relationship. Arden grew up in a Brady Bunch-like family in a town called Crown Point located near Chicago in Northwest Indiana. During her first year in high school, she cajoled the editor of the local weekly newspaper into hiring her to be a sports writer. As a corn-fed Hoosier, she valued her Midwest roots, but knew she needed to experience other places. Her insatiable curiosity led to spending the next 20 years chasing stories as a reporter and editor for daily newspapers in Indiana and Florida. This is where Arden honed her amazing interviewing and writing skills! From there, she entered the publishing world at the family-owned Rodale Press. At Rodale, her “day job” was senior health writer for the book division, but she also moonlighted as a writer for their new magazine called Pets: Part of the Family. That is where Arden realized that she could tap her love of writing and interviewing to help people become healthier, and to tout the power of her other lifelong passion, pets. Pets and people — that’s what Arden is all about. Fast forward to today, and Arden has done just that, in her trademark edu-taining style. She has: interviewed hundreds of guests over the last 13+ years on her immensely popular pet podcast, the Oh Behave! show. written more than two dozen pet books and counting as well as co-authored books with medical doctors and gardening experts. recognized as America’s Pet Health and Safety Coach, teaching the latest veterinarian-approved pet first aid/CPR and safety classes. given hundreds of talks on the health, behavior and safety for cats and dogs across the country. served as a pet expert on numerous television and online video segments, in addition to serving as emcee/host for pet-oriented gatherings. authored pet-based content for blogs, magazines and educational platforms.
