Adam Winston is a canine behavior educator, AKC CGC Evaluator, and the creator of Dogs in Our World — a platform dedicated to helping people understand their dogs through science, empathy, and storytelling. With a background in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington and years of hands‑on experience working with dogs and their families, Adam blends academic insight with real‑world practicality. His work is rooted in a trauma‑informed, relationship‑first philosophy that prioritizes emotional safety, clear communication, and the human‑canine bond. Adam’s approach is shaped by interdisciplinary influences — from behavioral science and psychology to history, culture, and media — and he is known for translating complex concepts into accessible, meaningful guidance for everyday dog owners. Through the Dogs in Our World podcast, Field Notes blog, and one‑on‑one behavior support, Adam explores the deeper stories behind why dogs do what they do. His mission is to help people see their dogs not as problems to be fixed, but as individuals to be understood. Whether teaching foundational skills, supporting families through behavioral challenges, or interviewing experts across the animal sciences, Adam brings curiosity, compassion, and a steady, thoughtful voice to every conversation.
