About Kind Dog Guide
Kind Dog Guide is a humane dog-training information site for everyday owners. It focuses on everyday, non-medical dog-training education, practical routines, safety boundaries, and reward-based training principles.
The site is based in Budapest, Hungary.
The content is educational only. It is not veterinary advice, emergency guidance, diagnosis, aggression treatment, bite-risk treatment, or an individualized training plan.
Who writes Kind Dog Guide
Kind Dog Guide is founded, written, and maintained by Adam Deri — a lifelong dog lover who grew up with family golden retrievers, and who is upfront about not being a vet or a professional trainer. Rather than personal opinion, the guidance here follows the published advice of recognized welfare and veterinary bodies, and always says when to consult a professional. For the full picture of who writes this site, where the advice comes from, and how it is checked, see our editorial standards.
How this site is written
Every guide is written in plain English and built around reward-based, low-stress methods. Articles are framed around what an ordinary owner can do safely at home, with clear limits on where a guide stops and qualified help should begin.
Each article includes a safety note and, where relevant, points readers to red flags that mean an article is not enough. For the boundaries of what this site does and does not cover, see what this site covers, and for the methods behind the guidance, see humane dog-training principles.
Our sources
Guidance is based on the published positions and owner advice of recognized animal-welfare and veterinary organizations, such as the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB), the RSPCA, the ASPCA, Dogs Trust, and veterinary references. Individual articles list the specific sources they draw on in a "Sources and further reading" section.
