Generations of dogs have been labeled training lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs.

Your dog doesn’t need a hero, just a human who’s calm, consistent, and actually paying attention. This isn’t a book about teaching your dog to sit. It’s about teaching you how to lead, emotionally, mentally, and with purpose. Because the real change in training? It doesn’t start with the dog. It’s not all about the dog. It never was. Most training books start with the dog. This one starts with you, the person holding the lead, setting the tone, and (often unknowingly) creating the chaos you’re trying to fix. Whether you’re a pet owner, dog handler, or professional trainer, ...
