Dogs

[close] Consider a world inhabited by cats and dogs: a society recognizable as our own, but with its eccentricities being the norm, rather than the exception. A world where the charm of Kenneth Grahame’s Wind In the Willows meets the exotic world of Ian Fleming’s Bond. A world where fluffy just got dangerous. These are the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, also known as the Dooven Books: welcome to the genre of New Fable.

[close] Welcome to the Dog Training & Behavioral Science Book Club, where we are dedicated to exploring the many facets of canine behavior and training. As passionate learners, we recognize the value of continuous education and are committed to staying informed about the vast array of research, techniques, and strategies. Our book club is not just about reading dog training books and behavioral science books, but also exploring human psychology and behavior books. As dog trainers, handlers, and other canine professionals, we recognize that effective communication with the humans attached to the dogs we hope to teach is just as important as understanding canine behavior. By reading books on human psychology and behavior, we can gain insights and tools to better communicate with our clients, colleagues, and even ourselves. We aim to "hack" our own personal training as well, using our newfound knowledge to improve our own skills and abilities as dog trainers. As a member of our book club, you'll have access to a diverse selection of books that cover a broad range of topics, including canine behavior, learning theory, dog training, animal welfare, and human psychology. Each month, we'll choose a new book to read together and discuss in our online forum. Our book club is a supportive community where you can learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for dogs and commitment to continuous learning. We encourage open-mindedness, and require respectful, constructive dialogue, even when our views may differ. Join us today and become a part of our community of dog trainers, handlers, professionals, and enthusiasts who are dedicated to improving their understanding of dog behavior and training, as well as their own personal and professional growth.
