Annie Grossman is a journalist, author, and professional dog trainer who writes about the strange, fascinating ways humans and dogs live together. She is the author of How to Train Your Dog With Love + Science and the writer behind the Substack Don’t Be a Dick to Your Dog, where she mixes reporting, behavioral science, and humor to unpack dog training myths, industry controversies, and everyday life with dogs.

Her work explores the largely unregulated world of dog training, the ethics of breeding and rescue, and the science of behavior—while also telling stories from dog shows, city streets, and living rooms where dogs and humans are trying to figure each other out.

She writes about dogs the way other people write about politics: with curiosity, skepticism, and a belief that the details of everyday life reveal bigger cultural truths.
