Description
For the past 20 years. Arnold has trained service dogs for people with physical disabilities and special needs, and has developed a unique training method based on teaching dogs to make choices--as opposed to following commands--through kindness and encouragement rather than fear and submission.
Reviews
"A perfect balance of science and observation, this book . . . is a worthy tribute to our canine friends."--"Publishers Weekly"
"Charming."--"The Washington Post"
"Arnold's voice is assertive with experience. . . . Her storehouse of anecdotal evidence is telling and entertaining, and her demolition of various alpha-model and negative reinforcement teaching techniques is thorough and lofty."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"There can be no doubt Jennifer Arnold knows her stuff when it comes to training dogs."--"The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"
"Vivid, memorable, moving . . . Jennifer Arnold provides a scientific argument for what dog lovers everywhere already know: Dogs love, dogs trust, dogs sense, dogs feel. This book's message is simply the truth."--Sara Gruen, author of "Water for Elephants"
