    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    My mom majored in journalism (and word smithing) and my sister was an editor at Simon and Schuster ... and I became a dog trainer. But I guess genes will out. I started writing a weekly "doggy" newspaper column, then co-authored two dog training books before "crossing over" to "clicker" training. In addition to writing, I own All Dogs Gym (www.alldogsgym.com), teach at All Dogs Academy and share my experience and knowledge in workshops and seminars (where I learn a lot, too). Working with dogs and owners is both my vocation and my avocation. The greatest gift is to not only love your work, but to work at what you love. I have both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog Obedience Instructor Manual
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012

Great book to prepare you for teaching classes on dog training. Common sense approach, easy to read, and covers the K9/student psych/mind/stature as your class are in progress.
Having a fundamental background in basic training is a must, and having titled your own dog prior to training a dog class is also an asset. The book addresses the instructors responsibilities, what they are supposed to do and see, how to correct student/K9 mistakes while keeping a positive mentality/atmosphere through the class.

If your on the fence about teaching K9 classes, this book will give you an excellent overview what to expect, how to be an open minded instructor, and address certain K9/student issues that arise during your class.

If you are interested in teaching dog classes, this is an excellent book to prepare you to tackle the job. Shadowing an instructor is also a huge asset, prior to taking on a class of your own.

Dr. Volhard & Ms. Fisher provide great insight on the task of preparing you for being a successful dog trainer.

Good Luck and have fun.

This is my first review because this was one purchase worth reviewing. We have a 7 month old pup that is just wonderful but she has her days of acting out and my husband let's say is less patient than I am. This book explains the dogs position, what the positions mean and what you need to do about it. Also, it comes with some pretty cute doodles to help you understand if they weren't clear enough in their text, which they were but still. Thank you for writing this book! I'm so excited to get through the teenage phase and make her into the best dog she can be!

Really hard to find books to teach people how to train their dogs. This book was recommended to me as a fairly new trainer. Only just received it and it seems good. It is I think out of print, and this was secondhand from the USA, and is in quite good condition.
