Hi, I'm Mike. Since May 2016, I have taught a monthly class at a local hospital called Babies Don't Bark. The class is designed to get expectant families ready to bring their new two-legged kid home to meet the four-legged ones you already have! I have two sons, 18 and 15, who both came home to two very large pooches and have been raised around a lot of dogs ever since. I've been a professional dog trainer for the last 10 years. My certification is CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed).

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.

A family of giants drops a crumb of chocolate yule log - but one crumb doesn't matter, does it? Join Pip and his mother, the mice, and the ants as everyone benefits from the giant Christmas bonanza. The audience will learn along with each of the characters that what might be a small thing for you can turn out to be a very big thing for someone else.

It’s beautiful outside, and a perfect day for a walk! You call for your best four-legged friend, hook them up on the leash, and open the door...and the next thing you know, you are on your butt, shoulder throbbing in pain, and you catch a fleeting glimpse of your dog barreling down the street away from you.

Okay, my claim to fame as a dog trainer is "I train owners, not dogs". Each and every one of my books follow the same principle. I want you to be able to check out a book and easily get tips and tricks to help you and Fido work together!

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.

Martial arts master Lin Su Yoshimura is a force to be reckoned with. Now in the US after being shunned as a mixed-race Chinese-Japanese girl, then kidnapped as a teen and sold into the sex-trafficking trade, Lin Su is rescued from an abusive New York pimp by one of the city’s top-level cocaine dealers. Navigating both back alleys and opulent venues with lethal grace, Lin Su finds her way forward through the underbelly of the city, as she wrestles with the horrors of her past.

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.

Is Fido peeing and pooping in all the wrong spots? Are you pulling your hair out? Well, Keep It Simple Stupid Dog Training's Dog Owner's Book of Poop and Pee will teach you how to get Fido to "GO" in the right place, at the right time and even improve the way the two of you communicate. I don't promise fast results - there is no magic bullet or Jedi mind tricks to fix the potty training issue! Instead, I teach you how to speak Dog as a Second Language (DASL) to tell Fido what behaviors you want and when you want them!

The Bible is filled with stories of people who walked away from face-to-face encounters with Jesus thinking he was a total jerk. This book explores the premise that if Jesus were to return today as he did two thousand years ago, he (or she!) would meet the same fate. That is, his own people would fail to recognize who he is, they would argue with him incessantly, and seek to have him destroyed. Written by a seasoned atheist turned Christian, this book seeks to help non-Christians have a better understanding of Christianity, including why we don't always do as we should.

You will be guided as to how to inspect and sea-trial your potential boat and negotiate the price.

This book is an atomic bomb exploding holistically with deep imagination mixed with political science and the history of Christianity. This rich concoction could plausibly contain the exact combination for our diverse society to engage in its own beautiful metamorphosis.

One doesn't have to wish upon a star; they just need to recognize the one who made the stars, acknowledge who he is, and accept the gift he's given to pay the price for our sin. And instead of trying to take a life, they end up receiving one instead.

A thought-provoking adventure across space and time that pushes the boundaries of religion and science. Follow characters through many different worlds as they search for new homes across the stars, free from the mold-casting corruptions of society.

This book is about a young man who accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He was called to be a Christian minister when he was married with one child and one on the way while running a business with his brothers. His calling was "to lead many through the trials and tribulations of life" and to "deal with the impossible situations." Not knowing at the time, God had a plan to take him through his trials and tribulations along with the impossible situations to prepare him so he could help others.
