A Collection of Books for Perfect Dog Ownership
“Dog Training Mastery” is more of a complete dog training system, than it is an ebook with a collection of well-chosen bonuses.
It has a clear, logical flow, teaches you in hands-on ways, and for anyone who wants to really master dog training, the material is almost endless.
Starting with the actual book “Dog Training Mastery,” then moving through the rest of the material, you get every training tool a dog owner could need.
As you apply its lessons, your relationship with your dog will become stronger. You’ll be learning the basics of dog whispering – you’ll learn:
- Dog psychology
- How dogs learn
- How to motivate good obedience
- What to do when dog instincts turn into behavior problems.
Readers who just want a quick-start guide may be tempted to skip the first half of the book, but that would be missing the point. “Dog Training Mastery” is about learning how to read your dog, and learning how to help your dog read you. The first half of the book really contributes to that.
The rest of the material included in the “Dog Training Mastery” package consists of :
- 7 more books
- An audio interview with a dog training and behavior specialist
- A live “helpdesk” via email contact with the book’s author, Ray Coleiro.
The Anatomy of “Dog Training Mastery”
With 8 books in total plus the audio MP3, it’s going to take a bit of space to tell you what you get in detail. So, without further ado, I’ll start with the chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the main book, “Dog Training Mastery.”
Chapter 1, Humans and Dogs, gives you an overview of what “Dog Training Mastery” seeks to teach. It explains the misunderstandings and bad habits in the dog-human relationship, and talks about how those mistakes can be overcome by learning how to be a dog whisperer. This chapter hits on all the different sides of dog training: from establishing the alpha position, to building a two-way dialog, on through specific kinds of training.
Chapter 2, Dog Psychology, goes deeper with the effort for a 2-way dialog. When you know what sorts of things dogs tend to think about, and how they think about them, you’ll start getting a skilled intuition just by looking at your dog. This chapter also touches on other points, with advice for dogs interacting with each other, and comments about the power of clicker dog training.
Chapter 3 is Dogs and Their Feelings. Building smoothly on Dog Psychology, this chapter refines your ability to read your dog’s moods through body language and other cues.
Chapter 4, Understanding Your Dog, begins to branch out. Based on what you’ll learn in the previous chapters, Chapter 4 applies that learning to the different assets and challenges involved in dog training. Among other useful things, you’ll learn:
- How your dog chooses to either obey you, or obey his instincts
- What kind of relationship your dog expects from you
- Why forceful and intimidating training methods fail.
Chapter 5 is where the book gets into Basic Obedience Training. This chapter takes all the previous chapters and applies them to hands-on dog training skills. By the end of this chapter, you’ll really start to “get” dog training, and that’s when you’re beginning to be a dog whisperer. Chapter 5 takes you from potty training through heeling and fetching, while keeping you grounded in the “how” and “why” of what you’re doing.
Chapter 6 deals with More Advanced Obedience Training. If you follow the Dog Training Mastery program faithfully up to this point, you will be able to teach your dog cool tricks like shaking hands and finding hidden toys. You’ll also be able to use hand gestures to reinforce or replace verbal obedience commands.
Chapter 7 is about Fixing General Behavior. It’s called general behavior because it deals with the most common dog behavior problems. These are the problems that happen because of strong instincts, such as separation anxiety in dogs, digging and barking, chewing, pulling the leash, and so-on. It talks about how to use your new dog whisperer skills to reduce and train against these instincts.
That’s the entire breakdown of “Dog Training Mastery” as a book, but don’t forget there are other perks involved in the package. Here’s a link to see what the publisher has to say about the Dog Training Mastery program.
