About Jeff Loy
Jeff Loy has pursued dual career tracks as an animal behaviorist
and musician. He grew up teaching himself to play the ukulele, guitar, and
banjo. Educated at Rutgers in applied mathematics, he went to work for The
Seeing Eye, Inc., shortly out of college. There, he trained up to twelve dogs
at a time to serve visually disabled persons. While at Seeing Eye, Jeff Loy
developed new techniques and equipment to improve dog responsiveness and
utility for visually disabled clients.
Later, Jeff Loy founded The Center for Animal Behavioral Research to identify
new methods of treating behavior disorders in dogs, cats, birds, horses, and
more exotic species of pets. By restoring innate self-control to the animals, Jeff
Loy and his researchers instill what they call "canine normalization"
in barking, biting, chasing, fighting, and hyperactive animals. Over the years,
Mr. Loy has served more than 7,500 clients and treated nearly 18,000 “hopeless”
dogs.
Jeff Loy has also participated in music festivals like the annual Martin on
Main guitar gathering in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. He regularly joins events
hosted by the New Jersey-based Folk Project and has played with such luminaries
as Bob McNally, Jack Lawrence, and Paul Prestopino. Jeff Loy also teaches
others to play guitar.
Jeff Loy regularly shares his knowledge and observations of animal behavior in
public lectures to dog clubs, horse groups, veterinary associations, and 4-H
clubs. He supports the care and research activities of such nonprofits as the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International and the New Jersey Audubon
Society. A person of diverse interests, Jeff Loy maintains memberships in the
Union of Concerned Scientists, the New Jersey Humanists Network, and the
Committee of Skeptical Inquiry. The Committee for the Scientific Investigation
of Claims of the Paranormal and the National Spoonpluggers of America also
count Jeff Loy as a member.
Jeff Loy is considered the leading authority on the rehabilitation of dangerous
domesticated animals, especially dogs that fight and bite. He has truly earned
this title by distinguishing himself as the only individual who routinely seeks
out and takes on behavioral cases that the professionals can neither address
nor even wish to approach. By researching and handling animals much more difficult
than dogs, such as bears, alligators, poisonous snakes, monkeys, wolves, etc.,
he has formulated one-of-a-kind techniques which make all dogs extremely easy
to handle. Their astounding effectiveness comes mostly from the fact that they
align themselves perfectly with nature's rhythm and flow. For more information,
