Coaching People to Train Their Dogs

Book excerpt: The book you've been waiting for, from well-known trainer and international workshop-presenter Terry Ryan! We are pleased to announce that Terry Ryan's classic Coaching People to Train Their Dogs is available again. Terry Ryan has been a mentor - maybe guru is a better word - for a whole generation of modern dog trainers who have benefited from her books, lectures, and seminars on dog training and class instruction. This 400 page trainer's manual includes just about anything today's modern professional dog trainer needs to know - training methods, learning theory, running a training business, and class organization. Of particular note is Chapter 6, "People Skills," where Terry focuses on how to interact with human students, the one part of the training equation that is sometimes overlooked. This edition has a new chapter on Animal Husbandry and some revised lessons plans.
