Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine your reaction if your childs friend grabs the remote control of the TV you are watching and changes the channeland 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 has witnessed how devastating the effects societys entrenched beliefs regarding dog behavior and temperament can bethat good behavior can be purchased, that an owners handling ability doesnt matter, that human behavior and the situations in which the dog is placed are insignificant. 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 that human behavior and understanding have on our relationships with dogs. By working with core canine social and behavioral drives, Berryman provides owners with sound techniques that focus on safety and can help protect their liability in todays world. 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

Author John Visconti takes the mystery and fear out of the selling process in this book which belongs in the toolbox of every professional dog trainer. Meet your own personal sales coach!

Thank Goodness! At long last, an approach that focuses on the people-motivating aspects of the business of pet dog training. It doesn't matter how good you are at training dogs, if you lack sales savvy and people skills for promotion, few dogs will benefit from your experience and expertise. I love this book. I really like the style—well written, catchy and always straight to the point.
Dr. Ian Dunbar, Founder of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

In this playful and incredibly enjoyable book, John Visconti shows readers many qualities that they already possess to sell their training services effectively and with heart. No longer will “sales” be a dirty word and trainers who read and apply the wisdom from this book will relish in their confidence and happily realize their goal of to helping more dogs and owners.
Malena DeMartini-Price, author of Treating Separation Anxiety in Dogs

I really enjoyed the humor, personal stories, quotes and resources that this book provides. It’s packed with wonderful thought provoking topics that give the reader nuggets to think about and apply to their own business. John coaches you to think of sales in a more inviting and less intimidating light. I truly appreciate his approach and highly recommend this book to dog professionals who have a less than desirable CER about “sales.” The more comfortable we all are in our business the more dogs and families we can reach!
Jennifer Shryock, B.A., CDBC Founder & Director of FPPE

Most of us dog trainers are absolutely terrible salespeople! We tend to let our compassion get the better of us, and we have a hard time realizing what we are really worth. John’s book is an excellent handbook for recognizing our value and selling ourselves effectively!
Michelle Douglas, CPDT-KA, CDBC, Past President, APDT
