For all the love and attention we give dogs, much of what they do remains mysterious. Just think about different behaviors you see at a dog park. We have a good understanding of what it means when dogs wag their tails, but what about when they sniff and roll on a stinky spot? What goes on in dogs' heads and hearts-and how much can we know and understand? Canine Confidential has the answers. Written by Marc Bekoff, it not only brilliantly opens up the world of dog behavior, but also helps us understand how we can make our dogs' lives the best they can possibly be.

Are you looking for a solution and guidance to properly help your worried best friend? From this audiobook, you will learn: what your dog is trying to tell you, how to communicate in a way that you both understand, how to ensure you are fully meeting your dog’s needs, why your dog acts up and why he can’t help it, and much more.
Publisher's Summary
Celebrity dog trainer, YouTube sensation, and Animal Planet star Zak George presents a next-generation guide that uses his infectiously energetic style to teach dog-lovers everything they need to know about raising and training their unique pup.
Zak George is a new type of dog trainer. His fresh approach puts a strong emphasis on the relationship with the individual dog - informed by breed-specific traits - allowing people to treat the root cause of behavior issues rather than the symptoms and teach their dogs faster without the use of punishments or stress. For the first time, George has distilled all the information from his hundreds of videos into one master guide that covers everything from play biting and potty training to leash pulling and unwanted barking and jumping. As a bonus, listeners will be able to visit his YouTube channel to see real-life demonstrations of techniques described in the book, providing a truly modern listening experience.

From a military handlers view
I’m a professional overseas K9 contractor. I’m the exact type person he tells you to ignore in his book and I don’t blame Zak one bit. I do have reservations about how some of the tools and advice would work in my field. HOWEVER, without any doubt, when I help friends, train my personal dogs and even as much as possible with my working dogs I completely agree with his methods. Please, if you have a dog at home follow his method and your dog will be loving, well behaved and healthy.
I also love that he narrates his own book. I love the videos and his energy. Made listening to this an easy one sitting.
Keep up the amazing work!!!

Excellent! Highly recommend to any new dog owner!
Zak George is one of the most engaging and effective dog trainers I've seen in the public eye. His complete immersion in positive reinforcement training is so refreshing and highly successful. I discovered his book as a result of finding his YouTube channel. While training dogs via positive reinforcement training is a philosophy I already embraced, his ability to communicate how to utilize this training method is thorough, yet easy to understand. I would highly recommend this book to any person who is bringing home a new puppy or adult dog in to their lives. The audio narration of this book is pleasant, enjoyable and feels "comfortable and fitting." When you pair this book with the wonderful videos on his YouTube channel, you've got a fantastic combination. I think that most people will still benefit from working with group/private training classes at their local dog training facility that incorporates this same philosophy (simply for the benefit of having a skilled trainer guide you through the individual issues your dog may struggle with during training), but the information learned in this book is incredibly valuable and will set you up on a path towards success. I can't speak highly enough of this book and have already recommended it to friends. Thanks Zak for the wonderful resource! What you do is valued and appreciated!

doesn't cover how to show leadership to dog
I used to believe everything Zach said as though it was gospel, but since have found that some of the elements he claims to be myths, have actually proven to be true and helpful for me.... for example, you must be your dog's pack leader.
It has nothing to do with dominating your dog or using harsh corrections, but rather showing though various aspects in day to day life that you, the owner, are in charge in you dog's eyes... I know y'all don't necessarily believe that, and you might think it is outdated information, but the knowledge of how to be the dog's pack leader has saved my relationship with my dog and a whole lot of frustration... I saw that there was indeed something to this "out dated" way of training.
Also there is NO fear, force, or agression required.
So I suggest trying theonlinedogtrainer.com.... "Doggy Dan"
it was the best thing I did in regards to dog training. Cheers
I want to say something positive about Zach George before I go.....
for a time in my life... when I was first starting out, he helped me have a clue how to potty train my puppy and tech different commands... I appreciate his love for dogs and good vibes... but still... Doggy Dan is the man...

What did you like best about this story?
My dog is better potty trained and can do tricks.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It kind of made me want to cry when he would be super positive about really loving dogs and treating them with respect.

Best book on adopting and training dogs!
I've been a fan of Zak's YouTube videos for a while and have used them to guide me as I welcomed and trained my lab/hound/collie mix Lucas with incredible success (keep in mind, he is very energetic and crazy). I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this book on Audible since I'm huge into audiobooks, but hate sitting down and reading physical books, and I was not disappointed.
Zak George provides the best advice for raising and caring for a dog, and listening to this audio book was a breeze as Zak narrates in the same tone and voice as his easy to watch YouTube videos.
Being someone who was raised around family dogs that were trained with choke-collars and Cesar Milan style dominance training (which was never really successful), Zak's approach to dog training is very refreshing. My dog Lucas is very receptive to the positive reinforcement training that Zak promotes, and I love the trusting relationship being built between us in the process.
Definitely worth a listen, and I will certainly recommend it to my friends and family that own dogs.

waste of time
basically a few hours of very padded out common sense stuff which I thought we took for granted. turns out my dog must be a genius because there is nothing this book can give a head start on. he is 9 weeks so I think I'll go with the book being useless.

Most likely, the best dog book you will ever read
I have read more than 25 books about dogs. Zak’s book includes the most recent findings about how dogs think and presents exercises and methodologies that respect these findings. Also, you can feel Zak’s energy and dedication which is a great motivation. Just buy it!

mostly common sense
More than half of the book is complete common sense and was pretty much useless to us. The emphasis is not on specific and practical advice but mostly broad basics that are too general.

Book for newbies.
This book is definitely for people who have never owned a dog. It's very informative for the first time dog owner, a must read.

Good complete guide
if you want a one stop guide to training and owning a dog, this is one one
As a UK listener, it's very "American" which you'd expect but once you get past that lots of good advice.
A lot of it is common sense, but I've also learnt that common sense isn't common so well worth a listen!!

Great book
going in to detail and understanding what to do, instead of a boring list of what to do :)

Thank you Zak
your positive and caring approach to dog care aligns with my approach to people and life. I'm looking forward to implementing these wonderful techniques with my own Birdie Collie pups very soon.

Get the “Happy Puppy Handbook” instead
If you lean towards positive training methods, get Pippa Mattinson’s books instead. I found them more helpful and informative, as well as being more agreeable and logical.
