    About this audiobook

    Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition. Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training, and her methods have overturned the conventional wisdom which holds that dogs must learn to obey external cues like "sit," "stay," and "heel." In contrast, Arnold's groundbreaking methodology, "Bond-Based Choice Teaching," rests on the belief that dogs are "social learners," and they can be taught to make choices and interpret what we want from them, as opposed to simply following commands.

      Since I am planning on adopting a dog in the future, I was curious about Jennifer Arnold’s approach to educating dogs. Last year, I was shocked to see part of a TV show of person who thought he was tops in dog training. His methods seemed very unkind to me and I even wondered, why have a dog if you are going to treat that way. I could not watch the whole one half hour program. I am happy to say that I love Jennifer Arnold's approach. She concentrates on the bond between dog and human first. She does not ignore many years of animal studies, she is inspired by them. Jennifer Arnold’s training is called Bond Based Choice Training. First she reviews the history of dog training. Then she goes over how she rejected the training ideas that she had learning from the past and began to center on the bond. I totally agree with her, love comes first. My first bond with a dog was with the next door neighbor’s husky. He bought the dog with the idea of Skipper being a watch dog and kept him chained up at first. We fell in love the first time we saw each other. I could hardly wait until our neighbor left for work so that I could cuddle, hug and pet him. It was joy. My experience with Skipper is the reason that my favorite chapter in this book is “More Than We Ever Imagined Possible”. Dogs are extremely empathic, they give more and more love. Another favorite place in this book it Appendix E, Dictionary of Dog Sounds. If you love dogs, you will want to read this book!I received a finished copy of this book as a win from First Reads from the publishers in exchange for a fair book review. My thoughts and feelings in this are entirely my own.
