From the book foreward —

…Pam Dennison has been a tireless advocate for positive, productive, and enriching training methods, most of which she has outlined in this guide. As a dog-training instructor and award-winning obedience trainer, Pam has patiently guided dog owners so that they might better understand the process of reducing unwanted behavior in a positive and productive way, while maintaining a trusting relationship with their pet. At the same time, she also teaches dog owners how to shape new behaviors such as basic obedience, potty training, and proper socialization with children… —Ted Turner, Animal Behaviorist (Former Vice President, Seaworld)

About the Class

Positive training is not mindless permissiveness (It's okay Rover, we can buy a new couch - you just enjoy yourself!); nor is it randomly throwing cookies around, hoping for the right behavior to happen. (Here, Fifi, if I give you a cookie, will you stop barking?).

It's a powerful and scientific system for breaking down the barrier between dog and human communications, producing desired behaviors or preventing undesired behaviors.

In the class I'll ask you to get rid of your (possibly) preconceived notions of "dominating, correcting, punishing, control, command, and obedience" and replace them with "influence, show, teach, trust, cue, and manners." You may find it hard at first to believe, but your dog will learn faster once you eliminate these notions. [learn more]
