Behaviorists specialize in the study of animal behaviors and Learning Theory. The behaviorist learns to observe, analyze and effectively translate the behavior in question. If the animal is not learning, the behaviorist does not blame the animal but resorts to Learning Theory and examines where he has gone wrong. The behaviorist holds himself to blame for the failure, not the animal. Therefore, yes, I am a dog behaviorist. (Cesar Millan is an animal behaviorist.)
