Being a dog parent comes with its set of challenges – you have to raise and train a life that doesn\u2019t speak the same language as you! There are as many dog training philosophies and advice as there are breeds of dogs on this planet, so navigating through all of it can be rather confusing. What can help alleviate this confusion is an author who uses actual science to back up their technique, thought process, and education.<\/p>\n

Annie Grossman\u2019s How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science <\/em>is not your typical dog training how-to: it\u2019s an entire philosophy that uses behavioral science to help shape your pup into the perfect canine citizen – and can even help you, as the human, shape your own life. Arguably the most beneficial dog training book I had ever come across, I put Annie\u2019s words to the test on my own pup, a 9-year-old mixed-breed from the local animal shelter.<\/p>\n

I can right off the bat tell you, I am no expert on dogs even though I have had dogs my entire life. My current dog, Lorelei, is the first dog that is fully mine, and I am raising her on my own. It\u2019s been a long road over the last eight years. As she came from the local animal shelter, I had to deal with all of her quirks and quips in the best ways I knew how. I wish How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science<\/em> was something I had come across back then because I feel like it would have helped tremendously.<\/p>\n

While waiting for the physical book to arrive, I enjoyed listening to the audiobook version on my Amazon account (via Audible), very well narrated by Eunice Wong. I wasn\u2019t quite sure what to expect, I partly thought this would be a step-by-step instructional\u2026 boy was I wrong! I found that this book is actually far more beneficial than a step one, two, and three because the author, Annie Grossman, explains how your dog thinks<\/em> to you. Finding a better way of understanding and communicating with Fido leads to not only better training, but a better relationship as a whole.<\/p>\n

The many real-life examples were so relatable to me, especially in the introductory section where she chats about some of the ways people behave towards dogs. So many of her examples reminded me of how my parents would try to discipline or train my childhood dog, and it was rather eye-opening. Once the book continued forth into dissecting various training methodologies, I was absolutely hooked.<\/p>\n

All of the explanations were so easy to follow, and I certainly didn\u2019t feel like the author wrote \u201cabove my head\u201d in any capacity. It really did feel like we were just having a casual conversation amongst friends, sharing life experiences and the lessons that came forth from them. There are so many fun and witty lines that make this read even more engaging, especially on a topic that, if done differently, can often be deemed as boring.<\/p>\n

Part three was very focused on at-home things to try, and even though I\u2019ve had my pup for so many years now, it was still fun to give these lessons a shot. No matter the age of your dog, you can both <\/em>still learn something new.<\/p>\n

The physical book itself, once it arrived, was so beautiful – the digital cover doesn\u2019t do the real cover justice! I really appreciated the cute cartoon dogs throughout the book, describing certain instances and expressing ideas. Everything was very well organized and laid out, and I really enjoy having a physical copy to reference back to rather than just an audiobook.<\/p>\n

10\/10, absolutely brilliant!<\/p>\n
