A person whose love for and fascination with Canis familiaris goes beyond that of a typical/casual dog-lover. These people spend large amounts of time reading books and blogs and watching videos/webinars on topics such as dog behavior and body language, dog training, canine neuroscience, behavioral science, and ethology. They probably have an order of dog books on the way right now and it's likely they've either attended a dog training/behavior conference (such as Clicker Expo) or wish they could. They may act nonchalant when the subject of dogs comes up in conversation and restrain themselves from launching into a deep explanation of their top ten favorite training treats when around non-dog-nerds to avoid coming off as a total weirdo, but happily nerd out when in the presence of their own kind. Dogs - especially their dog/s - are their passion, their hobby, and sometimes even their career. They have a deep love and respect for their dog/s, and meeting their dog's needs and making sure their dog/s have an enriched and fulfilling life is an important priority to them. You're not a dog nerd if you "don't believe" in or "don't agree" with the AVSAB Humane Dog Training Position Statement and/or identify as a "balanced trainer." Dog nerds practice humane, evidence-based training and handling.

"Dude, Jennifer is a total dog nerd. You never say the words 'The Dog Whisperer' in the presence of a dog nerd."
