Nancy Kerns has edited horse and dog magazines since graduating the
San Francisco State University Journalism program in 1990. The founding editor of Whole Dog Journal in 1998, Nancy regularly attends cutting-edge dog-training conferences including those for the
International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants,
Pet Professional Guild,
Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and
Clicker Expo. To stay on top of industry developments, she also attends pet industry trade shows such as
Global Pet and
SuperZoo, educational conferences of the
American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and
Pet Food Industry’s Pet Food Forum. As a regular volunteer for her local animal shelter, the Northwest SPCA in Oroville, CA, she fosters large litters of puppies and helps train wayward adolescent dogs in order to increase their chances of adoption. Nancy shares her life with her husband and two canine alumni of the
NWSPCA, mixed-breed Otto (whose adorably fuzzy visage was incorporated into WDJ’s masthead some years ago) and Pit/Lab-mix Woody.
