Warren Eckstein is an internationally known pet and animal
expert.
Warren developed his unique approach for understanding animal
behavior by combining different techniques learned and observed while
working in Southeast Asia and Europe.
He has devoted over thirty
years to teaching both pets and their people to live happily together
through his unique "Hugs and Kisses" approach to animal behavior, care and
training.
Warren has worked with more than 40,000 pets including
those of many well known celebrities. David Letterman, Cheryl Tiegs, Lily
Tomlin, Geraldine Ferraro, Al Pacino, Rodney Dangerfield, and Phylicia
Rashaad are just a few of many whom Warren has helped with pet
problems.

the regular pet and animal expert for the national television show "LIVE!
WITH REGIS AND KATHIE LEE." He has also been seen weekly on "The Discovery
Channel" and youngsters are familiar with Warren from his appearances as
the "Creature Keeper" for the Disney Channel's "New Mickey Mouse
Club."
Warren hosts his own syndicated radio show, "The Pet
Show With Warren Eckstein," which is heard on top-rated WOR Radio in New
York and is syndicated in scores of markets nationwide, in addition to
Canada. He also hosts a similar program on top-rated Smart Talk KRLA 870am Radio in Los
Angeles. As a pet therapist, Warren dispenses pet behavior and psychology

The Feline Freud, Warren Eckstein, talks about increasing your cat's vocabulary, learning the language of purrs and other ways to help cats live to their full potential.
Over the years, Warren has worked with virtually every
type of animal. A "hands on" animal expert, Warren is equally comfortable
backpacking with llamas, being in the water with dolphins, or working with
puppies and kittens. Well known for his unique "Hugs and Kisses" approach
with pets, Warren specializes in resolving behavior problems by teaching
people and animals to communicate, so pet and owner may live happily ever
after.
Warren created quite a stir in the pet world with his
book Pet Aerobics. In fact, his book, which advocates exercise
programs for healthier and better behaved pets, earned him a four-page
spread in People Magazine.
His amazing life and career with animals led Random
House to ask Warren to author his long-anticipated autobiography Memoirs of a Pet Therapist: A Tail All Book released in
September, 1998.
Warren's book How
To Get Your Cat To Do What You Want, published by Random House,
appeared on The Book of the Month Club's Best Seller List. Its success led
to its reissue in paperback.
His books The
Illustrated Cat's Life and The
Illustrated Dog's Life, also published by Fawcett Columbine, have been
published in 10 countries.
Warren has launched a pet product line with Warren
Eckstein's Hugs & Kisses vitamin and mineral supplement / treat for dogs and
cats.
Warren's total dog care video, "Our Owners Are Driving
Us Crazy! has been helping dog owners coast to coast to improve their
relationships with their four-footed best friends.
Warren founded the Hugs & Kisses Animal
Fund, a not-for-profit organization, in memory of his wife Fay who died in
1990. Its mission is to fund hundreds of small animal organizations across
the United States, and to be a resource where other help is unavailable.
He is also a 10-year member of the Board of Directors for the Bide-A-Wee
Home Association, the nation's oldest no-kill charitable humane
organization.
Dear Warren,
The day I called to order hugs & kisses for my 2 year old Sharpei changed my life (or my dog's life). Her skin problems improved immediately but I also noticed improvement in her other ailments. She suffers from "Swollen Hocks Syndrome" which makes her hind legs swell up. I noticed if I missed her daily dose of Hug & kisses her hind legs would become swollen. She is now 6 years old and in good health considering most dogs with this syndrome have a life span of 3-5 years. I consider hugs & kisses a miracle and my dogs don't go a day without their daily dose, which they look forward to every morning. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for providing a product that has saved the life of my beloved pet. My dogs thank you too!
Hugs & Kisses, XOXOXOXOXO

Hi Warren,
Just wanted to share with you that I've been listening to your show on WOR since my teenage years, even though my only pet(s) so far have been fish! Growing up, my mom always had WOR on and I Just gravitated to your loving, nurturing style. Your show always made me happy!
I'm so excited to share that with my family and will be adopting an adult dog from a shelter or rescue group in the coming month or so. Now I have more reason to listen and read!!!
Thank you so much for your remarkable work.

Hey Warren, Back around the mid 1970's you came to my house at Hewlett Ave. in Merrick, Long Island and taught me how to train my Irish Setter FLAME. I wonder if you could possibly remember that??? I've continued to use your methods with all of my pets, my wife, my son, my two daughters, only kidding..., and I always receive compliments on how well behaved my dog SHEBA is.(Border Collie Mix) I tell everyone that some long haired hippie named Warren Eckstein is responsible for all of her good training. When I tell them what you were like back then, nobody believes me. Hey, Now Don't expect any royalties though!!! I just want to say Thanks for everything... You've helped bring joy to my life through my pets and "our" Good Habits!!! Best regards, Jan S. Brewster, NY

Hi Warren,
I have been a listener for years but first time caller today. Thanks for the advice about Bitter Yuck for my little girl Candy. She is quite unhappy with cone collar that was put on to prevent her from chewing out her stitches. I located it but a few minutes away and am off to get it right now.
If it works both Candy I will be very happy. In any event God bless you, Warren, for your wonderful work in behalf of our furry loved ones.
