“One of the most common questions we are asked by our members is whether an annual print subscription to BARKS is available, and we are pleased that we can finally make that a possibility,” added Susan Nilson, editor-in-chief, BARKS from the Guild. “As soon as they have subscribed, readers will have ongoing access to each of the bimonthly issues, PDF downloads of all articles, vendor discounts, and first notification of new BARKS Blogs and BARKS Podcasts, and we will be adding more benefits in due course. It’s an exciting time for BARKS and we look forward to working with PPG members and our wider audience to continue to deliver a quality product that promotes force-free, scientifically sound education in all aspects of training, behavior consulting and pet care.”
