Zak training worked for my dog

I like the idea of looking out dog in his own world rather bringing him to our own expectations. Zak makes the training very simple and it had work for my dog ( Standard Poodle) He is 4 months and know at least 40 commands. Also, as mentioned in the book, I am slowly weaning off the treats for every command. Great book and also am a big fan of his YouTube channel. Kudos!!!

Fantastically helpful!

Every day that I listened to this book, I approached my puppy training with a much better attitude, and therefore better results!! Thanks Zak!!

Learn to love your dog better!

Incredibly thankful for this book! Zach is so patient and phenomenal and not only training animals but training us humans as well.

great read

This book is helping me tons in my dog training journey. Being able to check out the videos mentioned, along with others, via YouTube were especially beneficial.

I recommend everyone start here as book 1 on you dog training journey.

a wonderful book that every dog owner should have.

this is a terrific book that is clearly written and relatable for all dog owners. He does away with the myths of dominance based dog training and instead promotes a model based on trust, love and scientific principles.
