Human-Canine Behavior Connection: Building Better Relationships Through Dog Training is a dog training and personal growth book designed to help you and your canine companion expand as individuals and grow together as a team.During my career, I have been witness to many people learning about themselves and expanding as individuals through the behavior modification process and the relationship with their dog. It's uncommon for people to think of dog training as an opportunity for personal development; however, the relationship with your dog is the perfect, safe space to start navigating who you are in all relationships.The book introduces my training and behavior modification approach, Human-Canine Behavior Connection (HCBC). The approach consists of 4 steps: STEP 1: Training the Pet Parent Understanding your dog's behavior and their relationship to the worldUnderstanding what your dog is communicatingSTEP 2: Training the DogImplementing management strategies to support your dog's behaviorIntroducing training & behavior modification techniquesSTEP 3: Enhancing the Relationship Understanding your response to your dog's behavior Introducing relationship-building principles to enhance your training and connectionSTEP 4: Enhancing YourselfLearning who you are in all relationshipsUsing the behavior modification process and relationship building principles to grow as a personOur relationship with our canine companions can be a window into how we relate to the world around us. I hope you gain this awareness through the pages of this book.
