Expanded Description:
Training dogs is often simple and straightforward, but sometimes training their owners is a bit more of a challenge. In this book on "people-training for dog trainers," Nicole Wilde shares advice based on years of experience as a professional dog trainer. She teaches the reader the basics of "people training," how to coach clients using positive reinforcement and other techniques. In an often humorous section, Wilde describes specific types of difficult personality types, from Angry Agnes to Unmotivated Mo, and how specifically to deal with them. Also covered are handling students in a group class setting, working one on one in private lessons, and understanding and working with family dynamics. An invaluable resource for any dog trainer.

| Highly Recommend!!!, February 6, 2017 |
| Reviewer: Danae Knapp |
| In this excellent book, Nicole Wilde instructs you how to train humans. Most important, she expounds on working with the difficult human clients you may come across in your dog training career. These include: Know-It-All Ned, Argumentative Al, Needy Nita, Look-At-Me Leah, Rambling Rose, Unmotivated Mo, Ditzy Diane, Bland Betty, and Angry Agnes. Wilde also addresses working with kids and families and personal safety. This book, as well as Wilde's other dog training books, has been very helpful to me. Would recommend! **For those who would be concerned, this book does contain some language** |

| Much needed moral support, September 11, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Robin Madison |
| Just what I need to read sometimes, after a difficult class or an encounter with a difficult dog owner. Nicole's humor helps me take a step back, put it in perspective and laugh. She also helps me find my compassion when it starts to fade away. I especially appreciated the reminder that many of the training techniques we use with dogs - based in science - can be applied to our relationships with humans, as well. |

| An Absolute Must!, April 16, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Vicki Stafford |
I think sometimes because it's referred to as the 'dog training world', we forget it's the people at the other end that we need to pay attention too. The two most important lessons I learned from this book is that it's ok to set boundaries for yourself so that people know what your limits are. The second one is to have humor! Humanity is such a diverse league, and Nicole's book covers these personality types and how to word things just right so that everyone wins. If you read this book you, will learn new 'people skills' that won't only be effect in your dog training career but you will find yourself using them in other unrelated human interactions.
Thank you Nicole!
