How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves by Sophia Yin
informative

I read this book in preparation for my CCPDT Certification exam.
This isn't the best dog training book, but it also isn't the worst. For a trainer, there really isn't anything new to be learned or gained from this book. It was very clearly written and a nice little refresher on some points, but there are other books that go much deeper into everything written here. For owners, I feel like this book was a bit rushed and glosses over plenty of key pieces of information. The final two sections especially made it seem like plenty of serious behaviors could be fixed quickly, which is not the case. It also assumes the owners know all the same jargon dog trainers use, which isn't the case. All around, not a bad read but I really wouldn't recommend it.
