Dog trainers continue to learn from the BEST
When the first volume of The Dog Trainer's Resource was published in 2007, it became a resounding success among professional dog trainers and behaviorists. It also introduced a new generation of dog trainers to the profession and started them on the road to success with information from experts in the field. This new volume, The Dog Trainer's Resource 2, contains more cutting edge information collected from dog training's most influential magazine, The APDT Chronicle of the Dog, published by the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

Subjects covered in this book range from puppy training and socialization to working with veterinarians and how to run the business end of the leash. A special emphasis in this volume is on behavior problems including how to diagnose problem behaviors, training, and management strategies. It includes detailed case studies that give the reader insights from experts. Both new and seasoned dog trainers will benefit from the 73 articles written by 43 authors.

Advice from leaders in the dog training field:
-How to provide puppies effective socialization while keeping them healthy.
-Learn the latest in learning theory and training strategies including shaping, lure-reward, and punishment.
-Discover how to find and market your services to a niche clientele.
-Dozens of class tips and curriculum ideas for teaching dog owners new skills.

Bonus! This volume includes detailed bibliographic information so you can dig deeper into the research behind the information from the experts.

What dog training professionals say about The Dog Trainer's Resource 2:
Sometimes, the journey to becoming a dog trainer seems overwhelming. There is so much to learn from the business end, to learning theory, to case studies and from dog behavior to human behavior, from private in-home behavior consultations to group classes. A good dog trainer must encompass all parts. The Dog Trainer's Resource 2, along with The Dog Trainer's Resource 1, should be on the desk of every dog trainer.
Sue Sternberg, author of Great Dog Adoptions and Successful Dog Adoptions
