“Alana Stevenson’s The Right Way the First Time does an excellent job of meeting client needs and trainer goals. The book is both savvy and accessible.” ~ Association of Professional Dog Trainers — Chronicle of the Dog, Book Review Jan/Feb 2009
The Right Way the First Time: Teaching Your Dog Kindly and Humanely (2007) is the first edition of Alana’s book on positive dog training.
The book provides readers with the basic principles of how animals learn so they can effectively prevent and resolve dog behavior problems using positive approaches rather than punishment. It presents easy-to-follow and effective methods for teaching dogs polite manners and for resolving behavior problems such as house-soiling, play-biting, jumping, separation anxiety, fear of strangers, inter-dog aggression, and leash reactivity.
Readers will learn how to train dogs the way dogs learn best—through kindness and benevolent leadership.
