How to Bring Out the Best in Your Dog

De: Jaime Goodrich

Our dogs are no longer just pets—they’re family. This means, according to celebrity dog trainer Jaime Goodrich, that the way we train them needs to change.

The role dogs have played in our lives has changed. No longer are they solely workers, bred to herd for or hunt with us. So it’s time to change how we raise them too. In Unleashed, celebrity dog trainer Jaime Goodrich shows you how to understand your dog, provide support, and a create secure, lasting bond with one of the best relationships you could have in your life.

Unleashed argues that behavior problems worsen, not improve, with heavy discipline. If you instead address the source of a dog’s anxiety or fear, problematic behaviors will naturally and permanently disappear. Goodrich provides techniques rooted in kindness and understanding rather than punishment and dominance. She addresses attachment in dogs—what normal attachment looks like and what it looks like when things go south. She teaches you how to identify your dog’s particular coping strategy and how to identify stress signals your dog is giving you. You’ll be able to recognize your dog’s particular triggers and desires, and, most importantly, be able to figure out how to work within your dog’s particular neurological level to make substantial change in their behaviors.

Unleashed teaches you how to:
-Curb your dog’s reactivity toward humans and other dogs
-Walk your dog calmly and politely on leash
-Address hyper, shy, or aggressive behavior
-Teach essential house obedience skills for a balanced home life
-Eliminate destructive behavior like barking, chewing, and digging
-Treat phobias, separation anxiety, and fearful reactions
-Implement safety training for stress-free outings

Most importantly, Unleashed will give you the tools you need to fix any behavior problem, confidently and humanely. The result is that you will be able to nurture a more balanced, happy, and connected dog.
