Gaby Dufresne-Cyr is the vision and driving force behind Dogue Shop Publishing, a groundbreaking imprint dedicated to advancing ethical, science-based approaches to dog behaviour and human-animal relationships. As founder, author, and publisher, Gaby has created a platform that not only challenges the status quo of the dog training industry but also uplifts voices that advocate for compassion, intelligence, and respect in animal care.
With a background in ethology and decades of experience as a behaviour consultant, Gaby brings a rare blend of academic insight and hands-on expertise to every project she oversees. Through Dogue Shop Publishing, she curates and produces works that empower readers—from professionals to pet caregivers—to better understand dogs as sentient, emotional beings. Her focus is on promoting humane methodologies grounded in the latest behavioural science.
Under Gaby’s leadership, Dogue Shop Publishing has become more than a publishing house—it’s a movement. A hub for progressive thinkers, educators, and advocates, the imprint is committed to reshaping the way we think about interspecies communication, learning, and coexistence. Gaby’s own books exemplify this mission, offering readers powerful tools to connect with dogs on a deeper, more respectful level.
In an industry too often dominated by outdated methods and misinformation, Gaby Dufresne-Cyr and Dogue Shop Publishing stand as beacons of integrity, innovation, and empathy.
Gaby is also a prolific author, sharing her expertise through insightful and thought-provoking books. Her works include:
Dog in the Mirror is God: A Scientifically Spiritual Approach to Treatinh Human and Animal Behaviour – A unique exploration of the connection between human and animal behaviour, examining the spiritual and psychological aspects of the human-animal bond.
Animal-Assisted Therapy: Superstars Change Teen Lives – A compelling account of the impact therapy animals can have on young people facing challenges.
Beyond the Lure: How to Train Dogs – A booklet series available on Dogue Shop's Bookstore, Amazon and Google Play, that provides practical, science-based dog training techniques beyond traditional lure-based methods.
These books serve as essential resources for dog trainers, behaviourists, and pet owners looking to deepen their understanding of animal behaviour and training.
In addition to her work in animal behaviour, Gaby is also a passionate advocate for neurodivergent individuals. As a dyslexic author, she embraces her unique perspective, using it to fuel her creativity and challenge conventional thinking in her field. Her openness about neurodiversity encourages others to embrace their differences and turn them into strengths.
