Do you suffer from a disability that has taken your love of life away? Imagine how great your life will be when you easily learn and use these evidence-based principles for teaching your own Service Dog. What if I told you that you could train your dog as well or better than most professional dog trainers simply by learning some proven scientific principles?
As Mac from the UK said In his 5 star review of book one “Step by step idiot proof explanations. This book was really useful actually” What if I told you that you could put just a little effort into learning the secrets of modern dog training to teach your own Service Dog in a fraction of the time traditional training methods would take? This book will save you massive amounts of time, money, energy and frustration. The OTSD series of books will allow you to create an affectionate, attentive, and happy Service Dog force-free. The dogs are the medicine and you will have yours immediately, instead of waiting for years to receive a dog or paying from $3,000-5,000 dollars to have a trainer assist you. Becoming Your Service Dogs Trainer And Best Friend lists the criteria of a behavior and breaks down teaching a new behavior into easily learnable (for you and your puppy) steps, from lure and reward to generalizing. I bet you’re a bit like me and like the fact that this is a no fluff and no stress instruction manual. This book distills the essence of modern-force-free teaching techniques that will create a Service Dog who is always attentive to you and happily, with love, obeys and performs the tasks you want flawlessly.
