Frustrated With Your Dog’s Behavior? Hear What You May Be Missing.
If your dog is reactive, anxious, aggressive, overly excited, difficult to control, or simply not listening, the answer may go deeper than another training technique.
Drawing on more than 20 years of hands-on experience, Jackie Eckert explores the psychology behind dog behavior — why unwanted behavior happens, what dogs learn from everyday life, and what may actually need to change.

Training sessions are only one part of what affects how a dog behaves. Dogs are learning all day long from what happens around them, how people respond to them, their routines, and their everyday experiences.
There May Be More Going On Than Training Alone.
Written by Jackie Eckert, a professional dog trainer with more than 20 years of hands-on experience working with hundreds of dogs with difficult behavior — and the owners trying to understand and change it.

Some listeners may find parts of it uncomfortable or even upsetting. If you’re willing to question familiar ideas and consider a very different way of understanding dogs, this audiobook is for you.
