Not A Bully is committed to helping pet parents gain a deeper understanding of their dogs by providing authoritative, trustworthy, and well-researched educational content about their dog’s behavior along with providing virtual dog training at affordable prices<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

The Not A Bully brand started back in 2012 with photographer Douglas Sonders’<\/a> “I Am Not A Bully” campaign. Sonders set out to show the softer of the “bully breed” by taking amazing photos of pitties.<\/p>

The point was simple: breed\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0<\/em>make a bully and these beautiful pups don’t deserve the stigma that they so often receive.<\/p>

The campaign came to a close a few years later but the Not A Bully mission continued, just in a different way. Logan Mastrianna took over a decided to continue the mission education but this time by creating educational content that not only explained the behavior of the often stigmatized bully breeds but of all dogs.<\/p>

Today, we work with a large team of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and professional dog trainers<\/a> to create educational, actionable and entertaining content for pup parents across the world.\u00a0<\/p>

Not A Bully isn’t sponsored by any major company or brand. The ads you see keep our site live and support our team.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s one thing to\u00a0say<\/em> you’re focused on creating authoritative, trustworthy, and well-researched education content…but what does that really mean?\u00a0<\/p>

Our set of editorial principles allow us achieve these goals:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

All new content that appears on Not A Bully is reviewed by a veterinarian.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>hese veterinary reviewers have a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and are licensed to practice veterinary medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Additionally, because we focus so much on helping pet parents understand behavior, much of our content has been written by or reviewed by a professional dog trainer. In many cases, an article may have been reviewed by multiple dog trainers or veterinarians in order to provide our readers a wider range of expertise and experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

All older content is actively being reviewed by veterinarians and will be updated within the next several months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Content Review Process<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We focus on writers that have real world experience working with dogs. Our writers come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences including clinical, shelter and educational work.<\/p>

Here’s what our content review process looks like:<\/p>

1. Once one of our expert writers creates an article, it goes to the editing team for review.<\/p>

2. After it’s reviewed by our editors, we send it over to one or more of our veterinarians for review. Additionally, many articles, especially those that cover a broader subject, will be reviewed by a professional dog trainer.<\/p>

3. The article is once again sent to an editor for an additional review.<\/p>

4. The article is published and shared with Not A Bully Readers around the world!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
