About The Dog Trainer’s Playbook Volume 1: Effective Techniques for a Well-Behaved and Happy Dog

The Dog Trainer’s Playbook Volume I is your comprehensive resource for building a reliable, lifelong bond based on trust, structure, and clear communication. This book is designed for dedicated owners ready to move past ambiguity and achieve consistent, real-world obedience.
Inside, You Will Master the Core Pillars of Training:

  • Behavioral Truths:

    You will move beyond misconceptions by learning the truth about the “Alpha Dog” Myth and Why It’s Been Debunked. Instead, focus on establishing a relationship built on respectful leadership. Remember the wisdom of Dr. Sophia Yin: “If a dog does not willingly and happily choose to perform a behavior, we have not trained it properly.” This playbook shows you how to achieve that willing obedience.

  • The Science of Learning:

    Get a working knowledge of the four quadrants and the Four Phases of Learning (Acquisition, Fluency, Generalization, and Maintenance). Learn to implement the key principles needed for success. As the experts say, “Consistency is the foundation of all successful training.” We dedicate entire sections to helping you master the Big Three: Timing, Motivation, and Consistency.

  • A Lifelong Partnership:

    Your dog is a permanent fixture in your life. As Franklin P. Jones famously said, “Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job.” This book ensures that job is joyful and fulfilling. It teaches you how to embrace that unique bond, knowing that, as Samuel Butler suggested, “The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.”
