Great Book About Training Service Dogs. This audiobook is very thorough, it even includes a beginning chapter about which type of dogs you should train.

How to train your service dog

This is book one in the Smart Dog Training series. It was informative and information provided is easy to follow. The author made the book fun to listen to and I cannot wait to try the techniques on my dogs.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great information

I know nothing about how to training your our service dog. With the information from the audiobook I can implement the advice to achieve some training. This audiobook is a good starting place. I really like that I can use keywords for basic commands. Also give information on your new service dog to your community a wealth of useful advice.

Training Day

My purpose for buying this book is because my sister currently adopted a dog to be her service dog and I wanted more information on how to train him properly without having to send him to a training program. In this book, it gives great detail about how to train your puppy from the moment it learns its name. It gives information on how to choose your puppy and the longevity of how long it takes to train the dog. It gives different tricks and techniques on how to train a dog. I think it is a great book to help assist with training your dog if you don’t have the funds to take him to a training program.

Great starting point for new trainers/ handlers

I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I think this would be a good starting point for people that are wanting to train their own service dog. It’s not extremely detailed in exactly his to train but a nice overall approach to what needs to be done.

There is a few steps that this book goes over. Step one being to find and acknowledge the right breed for what you want in a SD and in a companion. I really like how they touched upon making sure to look into a reputable breeder. I wish there would’ve been more info on how to find them, making first contact with them, and what exactly makes a breeder reputable, etc. Would’ve made it easier for people new to the dog world to know what to look for. The next step they talk about is after you get the puppy and start on the basic commands for a pet. Such as their name, sit, down, heel, and come. They touch upon clicker use in this section but don’t really explain how you use it correctly. The step after that is building on the basics. And the last is to specialize the dogs training to what you need in a service dog. They go over the different types of SDs, people that can help you learn to advocate for yourself and your dog, etc. Very well done.

I wish there was talk about dogs being washed out. Sometimes no matter what you do the dog you’re working with might not ever get to the point of being a service dog. Not matter how much you want it or how hard you work.

Overall this was a nicely done book. I enjoyed the audio, very clear and easy to understand.
