From the Back Cover
Imagine your reaction if your child's friend grabs the remote control of the TV you are watching and changes the channel — and then later, does it again. We instantly recognize this behavior as wrong and correct it. When humans break dog rules and they correct us, we ignore our insubordinate actions and default to "blaming the dog."
Former animal officer Melissa Berryman witnessed how devastating society's entrenched beliefs of; dog behavior and temperament can be purchased, an owner's handling ability doesn't matter, human behavior and the situation the dog is placed in is insignificant, have been for communities.
Berryman shows how analyzing situations and contexts can stop the cycle of preventable incidents. Written with humor and compassion, People Training for Good Dogs offers insight into the impact human behavior and understanding has on our relationships with dogs. By working with core canine social and behavioral drives, Berryman offers owners sound techniques that focus on safety and will help protect their liability in today's world.
Critical Acclaim
"Clearly written, and repetitive where it needs to be, People Training for Good Dogs is not the average manual for training dogs. Berryman teaches owners how to gain confidence and control, how to solve problems, and how to avoid serious safety and liability issues. Her ideas challenge what most owners have heard and learned before, but her arguments make sense. Anyone who now has a dog or is contemplating getting one will benefit from reading this book. Anyone who owns a 'problem' dog needs to read it right away."

"This is the new Bible for all dog owners. It will truly help you have the best relationship with yours and all dogs!"
— Katie Riopel, dog trainer and host of Katie K9
