Manette Kohler is a veterinarian in Southeast Wisconsin where she provides animal behavior consultations for cats and dogs. If she could have one wish granted, it would be for all pet owners to have loving, trusting, respectful and fulfilling relationships with their pets. She speaks locally and regionally, to veterinary audiences as well as pet owners and other pet professionals, on animal behavior topics including: canine body language, dog bite prevention, feline behavior and dog park safety, as well as dog bite prevention talks for school and library groups. She especially enjoys working with families, teaching parents and their children about canine body language and how children can become trusted, respectful, and compassionate friends to their pets. When not working, Dr. Kohler enjoys spending time with her family which includes her husband, two daughters, two dogs, two cats and a feisty, pint-sized rabbit.

She is also the author of a new children's book, "Bella's First Checkup."
