The articles or "ravings" in this book give the listener a glimpse inside just what I think about dog training. They are small snippets and articles on the way to understand how to speak dog as a second language vs. the tired and old ideas of the dog listening and doing what I want because I am the human. I hope to inspire you with these articles and whet your appetite to learn even more about a science-based positive-reinforcement way of keeping it simple stupid, and if nothing else, to at least have fun while training your dog.

Okay, please don’t misunderstand me. I am not trying to insult you with the title of this book. Rather, I want to get your attention. The goal of teaching you how to get you pooch to come back to you when you call them is secondary. My primary goal is to get you to think about dog training in a different way! In many ways, I train dogs the way most of us want to teach children.

It’s beautiful outside, and a perfect day for a walk!

Writing this book has been a challenge and a pleasure all at the same time. As I read and edit it (for what seems the 150th time), I realize it is way more than a book on how to be a great shelter volunteer. It is really a book about dogs, dog training, and the ability to relate to your dog without malice, over the top control or even dominance. I am very proud of the ideas here, and really hope that all the people that read this book rush out to their local shelter, sign up as a volunteer, and make a difference.

Over the past several years, I found there were five articles from my blog that became more and more popular. These five got more views, comments, and results than any of my other articles. In fact, my first session with clients often focused on these five topics as a way to jump-start training and leadership, not to mention help with owner frustration. I even started carrying copies of these articles in my car to give clients after our sessions. Then, one day, a client made two observations that have stuck with me, and been repeated by a few others as well.

I don't promise fast results - there is no magic bullet or Jedi mind tricks to fix the potty training issue!

It will be an exhausting journey, but the listener will be richly rewarded by the time they reach the empty tomb.

The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the outlaws they seek aren’t just common bandits. The robbery may have been a smokescreen, and the “murdered” man may not be dead after all.
