Hey Portland, Oregon friends! Two of my books are now for sale at my favorite coffee shop, Fetch Coffee Roasters! My favorite drink there is their mocha, but everything is delicious. Even better, they give a dollar from every bag of coffee purchased to organizations that help dogs. If I had a tail, it would be wagging!! Thanks @fetchroasters for all you do for dogs, for every delicious cup you brew, and for carrying my books, too! 🐾❤️☕️ #FetchRoasters #CoffeeAndDogs #Wagtails #DrinkCoffee #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #KarenLondonDogBehavior
Intersection of my love for running and my love for dogs. It’s hard to tell dog gear from equipment to keep my body in running shape 😂😂😂 1. Running (human) and dog items combined 2. Human running accessories 3. Dog stuff #DogStuff #RunningStuff #DistinguishingRunningAndDogGear #DogTraining #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #KarenLondonDogBehavior

TBT The day I gave @wendywahman2’s book “Don’t Lick the Dog” to my kids for Chanukah 💙 I love this book for 3-8 year olds about safely meeting new dogs ❤️🐾 #TBT WendyWahman #WendyWahman2 #Don’tLickTheDog #DogBooksForKids #SafelyMeetingDogs #KarenLondonDogBehavior #TreatEveryoneLikeADog

Looking for interpretations of the bite marks on this disc! I saw this while searching for my own disc at a disc golf course in Santa Cruz last week. I love trying to “read” bite marks to get an idea about how the toy was played with and by whom—dog size? treating it as a chew toy or a flying disc to catch? Other insights? There’s no need for me to know—this is a strictly recreational request 😍 #DogToy #LostDisc #BiteMarks #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #CaninePlay #DogBehavior #DogTraining #KarenLondonDogBehavior #DogPlay

My people are all around the world. This woman I saw in Lisbon, Portugal is a perfect example, and crossing paths with her made my heart sing. (My singing heart sounds waaaaaay better than my singing voice, so that’s lucky 😂😂😂) 💚🇵🇹🐾🇵🇹❤️ #DogPeople #DogLove #DogTraining #CanineBehavior #KarenLondonDogBehavior #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #PortugalDogs #LisbonDogs
This is Gucci, looking all attentive and interested in me, and that’s because this sweet dog has designs on my pastel de nata, the most popular dessert in Portugal. I adored my time in Sintra, Portugal in part because of Gucci and my pastel de nata and cappuccino snack break 🐾🇵🇹🧁 #DogsLoveFood #AttentiveDogs #DogsofPortugal #KarenLondonDogBehavior #TreatEveryoneLikeADog
Remember that our dogs can easily misunderstand us, just as we can misunderstand communication. For example, I saw this place at the Prague International Airport, and thought it said “pray take off bar” but it is the “prg (Prague) take off bar.” Very different! 😂😂😂 #CommunicationProblems #DogTraining #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #KarenLondonDogBehavior
I’m not naming names, but somebody has had a lot of coffee and gotten a lot of writing done on her next dog book. Cold snowy days can have a real upside! ❄️❄️❄️ #DogBehavior #DogBooks #LifeWithDogs #DogTraining #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #CanineBehavior #KarenLondonDogBehavior
We finished our run (another hill workout because every run in the Swiss Alps is a hill workout 👟❤️🇨🇭) and then socialized with our new cat friend who tactfully alternates time between the two of us 😍🐈💜 #CatBuddy #CatFriend #SwissAlpsRunning #KarenLondonDogBehavior
Having fun checking out the dog food and dog treats at the local market in Switzerland. Doesn’t everyone check out such products when they travel? 🐾🐶🦴🇨🇭🙂 #DogFood #DogTreats #TravelExperiences #DogTraining #CanineBehavior #DogBehavior #KarenLondonDogBehavior
I’m spending a month in the Swiss Alps writing books & articles. Here’s the view from the room where I am writing today and the view yesterday after the snowfall in the mountains.

I’m not saying it’s cold in Glasgow, Scotland, but lots of dogs are wearing snowsuits! We flew in from Iceland last week so it feels positively balmy to us. The dogs know better🏴💙🥶 #ScotlandWeather #ScotlandDogs #DogBehavior #FallWeather #KarenLondonDogBehavior
So happy to have both our sons at their first choice of colleges, wearing their school’s gear (and sharing it with their canine buddies.) Cheers to the Banana Slugs of UC Santa Cruz and Let’s Go Big Red at Cornell! 💙💛❤️ #UCSC #CornellUniversity #VarsityDogs #KarenLondonDogBehavior

Talking about Cows, Ants, Termites, and Me on the Backyard Pet Talk with Shannon Riley Podcast was tons of fun! We talked about our favorite columns in the book, our interest in glo fish, the importance of matching people to the right pet, guinea pigs, monarch butterflies, our mixed feelings towards bees and snakes, why rejected fruit flies consume alcohol, why we don’t need to worry about Santa‘s reindeer, and so much more! @azmilkweedsformonarchs @trulyforcefreeanimaltraining #CowsAntsTermitesAndMe #BackyardPetTalkWithShannonRiley, #ArizonaMilkweedsForMonarchs #KarenLondonDogBehavior [link in bio]

I have (invisible) egg on my face! Instagram mistake—so embarrassing 😬 Somebody messaged me on Instagram asking about any webinars I have done about using play to treat aggression and now the message is lost and I forget who sent it. They had listened to me on the podcast “The Bitey End of the Dog” and I said during the podcast that I have been talking about using play to treat aggression for many years with my first talk on the subject being in 2000. In a recent webinar, I talk about a dog named Jake, and he was the subject of my first talk about using play to treat aggression The webinar I did on this topic recently was called “Play to Treat Aggression: From Detention Hall to the Playground” [link in bio] and it was with Raising Canine If you sent me the original message, please message me again, and perhaps I will not be defeated by Instagram this time 😉 #PlayToTreatAggression #DogBehaviorWebinar #DogBehavior #CaninePlay #DogPlay #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #TheBiteyEndOfTheDog #KarenLondonDogBehavior #InstagramFails
Speaking with @michaelshikashio of AggressiveDog.com on his podcast “The Bitey End of the Dog” was an amazing experience. I like the way he thinks about both dogs and people so it was a real treat to talk with him about the human side of dog aggression! #AggressiveDogs #DogTraining #DogBehavior #CanineBehavior #AggressionCasesWithDogs #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #KarenLondonDogBehavior [link in bio]

Rich and I welcomed two visitors while doing some gardening. Axl Rose the cat and Magic the dog stopped by. They both love to hang out with us, but they were not amused to see the other one there. It was an uneasy peace for sure 😳🐈🐶 #NeighborhoodDogAndCat #DogTraining #CatTraining #DogBuddy #CatBuddy #KarenLondonDogBehavior

I’m so happy to share that my new book “Cows, Ants, Termites, and Me” is now for sale locally at @flagstaffstationmarketcafe along with “Treat Everyone Like a Dog” and lots of other books by local authors 📚😍 You can pick up a book along with great food and coffee, too.

I often think about the visual perspective of little dogs, and I was definitely doing so when thinking about how my husband looks next to this giant saguaro cactus If you’ve had the experience of feeling different in height to some thing around you, did it ever make you think about how dogs experience the world? #DogLife #PerspectiveIsEverything #NotTheSameHeight #TreatEveryoneLikeADog #KarenLondonDogBehavior

Buster was the first service dog I worked with. (I’m not a service dog trainer but I sometimes work with them on specific issues.) He was a life saver and I loved him. ❤️❤️🐾❤️❤️ It was with great sadness that I learned a while back that he died, years after retiring but still continuing to make the world a better place. His memory is a blessing ❤️🩹 #ServiceDog #Lifesaver #DogTraining #Buster #KarenLondonDogBehavior
Lots of loose dogs in the area! No surprise when they can stand on snow drifts this high (that’s what 12 feet of snow on the season so far looks like!) and easily get over a fence.

One of my favorite photos of all time! I took Marley ( belonging to @erinstrout ) to an elementary school career day in 2015 and he enjoyed himself so much it was written all over his face.

With over 5 feet (!) of snow this month in Flagstaff, some indoor dog activities are in order ❄️🐾 Yes, it’s great to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, but not every dog or every person wants to be outside as much as usual, and that’s okay!
