Chirag Patel, PGCert (CAB), BSc (Hons), DipCABT is a Clinical Animal Behaviorist in the UK, near London. He does behavior consultations (dealing mostly with aggressive behavior in dogs that is directed towards other dogs and people), runs classes, and trains dog trainers. He's even prepared a dog/chicken show (yes, the chickens were trained with positive reinforcement, too!) for Britain's Got Talent. Chirag is the 1st European Certified BAT Instructor.
His interest in the field of dog behavior developed in 2001 after acquiring a gorgeous biting, dog reactive German Shepherd.
Chirag's passion for training and behavior led him to San Francisco where he completed an internship in Dog Aggression under Jean Donaldson and was also mentored by Dr Ian Dunbar. Chirag has also completed training with Ken Ramirez, Bob Bailey, Nina Bondarenko, Grisha Stewart, and other experts in their field. Chirag holds a BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Sciences from the Royal Veterinary College and a Post graduate certificate in Clinical Animal Behaviour from the University of Lincoln.
Chirag enjoys reward-based training with a range of animals everything from dogs to degus. That includes humans as well: Chirag is very interested in incorporating TAGteach (teaching with acoustical guidance) when teaching people and is primary certified. He hasn't left out rodents, either: in 2010 Chirag worked as the primary trainer on a project clicker training rodents for odor discrimination.
