This guide is like having a friend explain private training to you! You'll start with exercises to assess your current skills, learn about sales and scheduling, and view sample phone scripts. Then learn to take a history: questionnaires are broken down into lifestyle, training and behavior issues, and include explanations of what your clients' answers might mean. Get pointers on designing lesson plans and protocols, tips on promoting client follow-through, and an entire chapter devoted to commonly asked question.

| Indispensable for Private Trainers!, May 7, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Patty Crichton |
| Having read and enjoyed Nicole's previous books, I was delighted to read her new one. It is the best yet! As a new graduate of an 8 week Training School about to start my business, I found this book to be extremely helpful. I was in cruise sales and marketing in my previous career, but the dog training world is all new to me, so her sales tips as well as history questionnaires, sample phone scripts, resources, and much more, are invaluable. I feel so much more prepared to deal with the |

| Great Handbook for Trainers, June 2, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Mychelle Blake |
| Nicole Wilde's latest work is an excellent guide to trainers who work one-on-one with clients on obedience and behavioral problems. Aside from tips on structuring sessions and working with people, the book provides a wealth of information on how to take an effective history and lists of questions to ask for the typical behavioral problems that trainers see. I would highly recommend this book for the beginning and established trainer! |

| Reviewer: James O'Heare |
This is a great book. Many books prepare you for behavior modification and training but this one fills a gap in preparing us for how to actually deal with clients. Nicole is a humorous writer and the book is a fun and informative read.

| Must have for Instructors!, December 27, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Elizabeth Coburn |
| This book is fantastic at getting to the heart of what trainers do before even working with a dog. She makes it easy to understand the need for a good history on the dog, and how to get more from the human counterpart. |

| Great resource, October 31, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Nick Hof, CPDT-KA |
I had bought this book a while ago when I first began training and found it useful. I just re-read it again because I am starting to do in-home training more than I have in the past and I loved the book the second time around!
Nicole goes over so much useful information. One of the most useful sections I found was on the phone skills. I also really appreciate the extensive questionaires and all the great information listed in the Resources section. |
