Reference Dog Training Animal Behavior Vocational Education Coaching & Mentoring Pets Teaching Skills
Terry Ryan’s Coaching People to Train Their Dogs, 2nd Edition (ISBN 9780974246420) is the go-to textbook for professional dog trainers who want to sharpen their people skills. Published by Legacy Canine Behavior & Training Inc in 2008, this heavily illustrated paperback bridges the gap between knowing how to train dogs and knowing how to coach the humans on the other end of the leash. Ryan’s step-by-step lesson plans, real-world case studies, and ready-to-copy handouts give trainers everything they need to run group classes, private lessons, and behavior-consult sessions that keep clients coming back.
What makes this copy special is its “like-new” condition—no ex-library markings, inscriptions, or wear—so you get a pristine reference that will hold up to daily use in kennels, shelters, or training halls. The 2nd Edition adds updated protocols for reward-based methods, troubleshooting flow charts, and expanded sections on puppy foundations and difficult dogs, all while staying family-friendly for readers as young as nine. Whether you’re a seasoned instructor, a 4-H youth leader, or a hobbyist aiming to turn pro, this is the single volume that turns dog training knowledge into a sustainable coaching business.
