Reviews & Praise

“Training Your Dog the Humane Way is a landmark book. Alana Stevenson blends the latest scientific research on who dogs are and what they want, need, and feel with clear instructions for positive, reward-based training. This easy-to-read book is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to have a close and enduring relationship with their best friend. I hope it enjoys global acceptance.”

“Wags and woofs for Training Your Dog the Humane Way, which educates humans to first be aware of their own behavior, as well as canine behavior and communication, before seeking to shape dogs’ behavior. This approach to training enhances the relationship between human and pet and brings out the best in both species.”

“I’m from Hong Kong. I bought your book in a bookstore here. I found this book very useful and what I like most is it’s really easy-to-read, with lots of photos to show how to do the exercises. I introduce this book to my clients as well. Keep up the great work!”
