The behaviorists at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine have a website called "The Indoor Pet Initiative" with a wealth of information for cat and dog owners. It is definately work checking out!

The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior has a wealth of information on current trends, thinking, and research in the area of animal behavior. The Society has also produced several thoughtful and well written position statements on topics such as Dominance, Punishment, Puppy Socialization, and How to Choose a Trainer.  I think all of them are well worth reading.
