Dogs

[close] Hello gals!! I created this group in hopes that I can get some people in and we can get this show on the road! I've never really done anything like this, so if someone wants to join & help me along as a moderator (or however that works), please let me know! I want this to be a fun, laid back group that is not only for reading, but for any discussion. I know I can get to feeling alone sometimes and I'd love to have a group of gals to connect with, so if that sounds like you please hit that join button :) I have been looking for a book club where I can connect with others, but I can't ever seem to find one that is active and that I am super invested in, so here I am! There is no one genre to this group, so if you've got a suggestion, please share it! We all just wanna read a good book. p.s. turning on notifications for the group helps a lot to keep you updated on new post threads and stuff!

[close] Whether you are the leader of your family, your church, community group, nonprofit or other business - or even of yourself, if you want to learn how to be resilient, or help others chose resiliency over being stuck, longing for a past that has gone, maybe forever, this is the place for you! The most successful teachers know, that they teach what they want to learn more about! While animal books from W Bruce Cameron will be our North Star, we will be covering books from all categories, as long as they help us to understand resiliency and how to use t to make our lives, (or the lives or others better. After every disaster, people emerge in a "honeymoon " phase - just happy to have survived and ready to get back to their norm. Frequently, their "Norm" is gone, sometimes forever! There is a decent into helplessness, hopelessness, depression, despair, even thoughts of suicide. This can last up to years! People from vulnerable populations get overwhelmed. Do YOU want to make a difference? January 2022 to May is going to be our Phase 1. Please be flexible as we learn how to do this the best way. June through Early August will be our Phase 2 where we will bring in many more personal experiences of dealing with the challenges of loss and bringing in Resiliency. In late August through December 2022 We are going to deal with integrating Bruce's Study Guides for Children and Adults, extending Disaster Preparedness Month from September through January 8, 2023.

[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.
