The book you've been waiting for, from well-known trainer and international workshop-presenter Terry Ryan! We are pleased to announce that Terry Ryan's classic Coaching People to Train Their Dogs is available again.

This 400 page trainer's manual includes just about anything today's modern professional dog trainer needs to know - training methods, learning theory, running a training business, and class organization.

A Must-Have for Dog Trainers, July 21, 2006 |
Reviewer: Cara, Austin Dog Trainer |
This book is fabulous! I'm in the process of setting up my new training center and this book is right at the tip of my fingers at all times. I also went to take Terry Ryan's week long Coaching People workshop out at Legacy Canine in Sequim and I'd highly recommend doing that as well. She is a fabulous teacher and mentor, and is endlessly giving with her students.
I'm hoping Terry will publish a second volume soon! If you are a trainer and you don't have this one in your library yet, I highly recommend making this your next purchase! |

very good but ..., September 14, 2006 |
Reviewer: ZKV |
The book is very good, interesting and helps plan classes. I took one paw off only because I found it was too childish, too easy as exercices and approches (perhaps because as I later learned Terry teaches often eldery owners!). Since I do not teach in the US it did not fit my classes mood, where there is less time, less playing and more serious work (that I still try to be as fun as possible with games)because I teach hurried people with no much time or money. |

Wealth of Information, January 13, 2007 |
Reviewer: Vivien Clarke |
This book is invaluable to a new dog trainer (which I am). I am often going to my bookshelf to grab this book over other ones when I have a question about working with a difficult client (human or otherwise). The tips on class management are great, as well as all of the fun games to use during class. The table of contents is a little overwhelming, but once you get started reading, time flies. Coaching People to Train Their Dogs is an amazing book, written by an amazing trainer. |

Great book, July 19, 2010 |
Reviewer: Nick Hof |
I just finshed this book a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it. It covers so much information that is pertinent for you to be able to help your clients.
I really liked all of the handouts that she included with varying subjects.
If you are a seasoned trainer or just starting out, this is an investment worth considering. |
