About this listen
Dog training is full of differing opinions, myths, and old wives' tales. With so much conflicting information, how do you know what theory is the best for training your dog?
The Evolution of Dog Training details how to teach your dog, one step at a time, without causing your dog pain or fear. It carefully explains how training with choke chains started and why trainers are now using clickers instead. You'll also learn what current research and scientific studies tell us about how dogs learn, making it easier to a turn your beloved pet into a well-behaved dog.
Whether you have been training dogs for decades or this is your very first time, this audiobook will help you sort through all of the opinions so you can train effectively and humanely.

Finding my way…
I truly respect and appreciate your book, The Evolution of Dog Training. I’m a disabled veteran (PTSD) with a Service Dog, Riley. He’s an absolutely exceptional dog, 4 years old, service dog training started at about 7 months. Initially, I thought I would never be able to complete the rigorous training schedule in which all training was positive reinforcement. Stubborn doesn’t begin to describe the problems I encountered during the one year-plus training time. However, during the last few years I’ve come to learn that I was the stubborn one! Riley, my loving English Cream Golden Retriever, and my time being cooped up during Covid, became quite the “ah-ha” revelation for me The problems

A good resource
I with the author had hired a professional reader/voice actress to narrate her book. I found the narration halting to the point of distracting and almost didn’t finish it because of this. It’s too bad because it otherwise could be a great resource with wide appeal. The space of dog training is so strangely divided at the moment, and such a level headed and researched explanation has a lot to offer.
