I am fostering a dog and working on her commands and helping her adjust. She was abandoned and never was socialized.

I felt this would be a great book to have because I believe in positive reinforcement and training.

Beyond Treats: Revolutionary Dog Training for Lasting Behaviour Change: A Story-Based Force-Free Compassionate Dog Training Guide by George Tran is a good resource to have and provides practical and easy to implement training.

The book follows the journey of Emily, a dog owner overwhelmed by her pet's challenges. Through her story, I was able to learn how a leadership-based method brings lasting change without relying on force or outdated techniques.

This really is a compassionate guide that empowers me and my dog to address behavior problems by fostering respect and building a strong bond that goes beyond treat-based rewards. The book provided real and valuable tips and techniques.

I would recommend this book.

I know treats are a great training tool but not all the time. This book and way of communicating with dogs makes sense and I learned a lot of valuable tips. I believe that the methods will work maybe not straight away but nothing is a instant fix it takes time and consistent training. I am looking forward to working with my dogs and building a deeper understanding and bond.
