Diane Jessup is the author of The Working Pit Bull, The Dog Who Spoke With Gods, and co-author of Colby's Book of the APBT. She created and runs the LawDogs program, putting pit bulls in law enforcement agencies as narcotics and explosives detection dogs.

Over the past 35 years Diane has worked with industrial guard dogs, been certified as a police K9 trainer and spent 20 years as an animal control officer. As well, she has been called as an expert witness on behalf of police K9 units, and as an expert on canine aggression. She has been POST certified as an expert in dog and cock fighting and has been invited by animal control and law enforcement agencies in five countries to speak about the American pit bull, dog aggression and bloodsports. She has been featured on shows like 48 Hours, McNeil/Leher, The O'Reilly Factor, Oprah and hundreds of news shows and articles.

She has put over 70 training titles on dogs, primarily American pit bulls. She uses positive training methods; she believes in what Bob Wehle, founder of the world's most respected field pointers pointed out "If you need to shock a dog in any portion of its work than the dog is not bred right".
