This page provides access to foundational guides, in-depth white papers, and research summaries designed for families, trainers, veterinarians, breeders, and anyone interested in a deeper understanding of canine development and well-being. Drawing on years of observation and integrating scientific research with practical application, these resources explain the core principles of the Just Behaving approach: Mentorship, Calmness, Indirect Correction, Structured Leadership, and Prevention.
