I always wanted to work with animals and I was clear on that, but when I entered college through another major (anthropology) that was not veterinarian technician I started taking other classes. Another field that caught my attention was psychology. I like helping other people with their problems, even my friends tell me that I should be a psychologist, apparently I give good advice and I know how to be neutral and all of that. In other words I have the temperament and disposition to be a psychologist.  To be honest when I’m done with my associates’ degree in vet tech my plans are to get a bachelors degree in psychology, just because this field really interest me. So technically I haven’t stopped going forward this career path I just putting a pause to It, because right now my main focus right now is animals.

Ivan Pavlov

Practically everyone has heard of Pavlov’s dogs. Pavlov wasn’t technically a psychologist, but he made one of the most important discoveries in the field, and had a major hand in establishing psychology as an area of study. Pavlov is the one who recognized that responses to stimuli could be learned, based on his studies of dogs.

John B. Watson

When Pavlov jump-started the field of psychology by recognizing the role of learned responses, he also kicked off behaviorism. Watson was the first behaviorist, arguing that psychologists can only base their theories on observation, and utilizing the study of animals in order to draw conclusions regarding human behavior.
