7.9. Who Is Alexandra Semyonova, And What Are Her Credentials?
Alexandra Semyonova, a dog “behaviorist” and former Dutch SPCA inspector, is author of The 100 Silliest Things People Say About Dogs (Hastings Press, 2009.) I would be interested in seeing proof of Semyonova’s qualifications and/or training to be a “behaviorist” and Dutch SPCA inspector because her article raises significant questions in my mind regarding her credibility and the accuracy of her statements. Semyonova’s article entitled “The science of how behavior is inherited in aggressive dogs” should be included in her book “The 100 Silliest Things People Say About Dogs” as, in my opinion, it definitely qualifies for inclusion.
