How To Train Your Dog with Love + Science presents a modern and science-based approach to dog training, showing how behavior can be changed without coercion and force. Annie Grossman, a journalist-turned-dog trainer, breaks down what positive reinforcement actually is and makes the case that "good dog training" may even be a window into understanding ourselves.

Grossman offers building-block exercises and tips on how to train effectively using the reward-based methods she's honed over the last decade with clients at her Manhattan training center, School For The Dogs. Whether you've just brought a new dog into your home or you're wanting to teach an old one new tricks, How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science will help you consider what behaviors you want and help you to achieve your goals using techniques rooted in the science of behavior.

Woven into this how-to guide is the century-long history of positive reinforcement training, from Pavlov's dogs and Skinner's rats to today's apartment-dwelling dogs using Wifi-enabled devices.

By employing the easy-to-understand techniques in this book, you will be able to train your dog to live confidently, comfortably, and happily in your world.

I see the world through a dog's eyes for the first time after reading this simple approach to Dog Training in this new book "Train Your Dog with Love and Science" by Annie Grossman. I learned to understand a dog's reactions to day to day events in a new light - not by how the dogs behaviors were affecting the person and others but how the dog was being affected by what they were exposed to. In a clear, well organized way I learned that using positive reinforcement can help a dog better cope with what is happening and feel less unsafe in a people environment. This approach reinforces that dogs' behaviors need to be better understood in order to help them adapt to the world around them. Looking at how the dog experiences the world was freeing to me. Although I do not have a dog now, when I did, I never knew how to help him change behaviors that were difficult for me to cope with. I also found the book helped free me from thinking that my dog was doing things "to me" but rather reacting to situations because he was stressed.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and in my work I value constructive communication in relationships. I believe that being kind to each other is a central part of successful relationships.and this book helped me see that animals are no different. Kindness to animals is just as important.
I am grateful to Annie Grossman for taking the time to write this book and give me and the world a detailed plan on how to proceed in training a dog. Her ideas are backed by sharing useful information and research as well as her own personal experience as a dog owner and trainer. I highly recommend this book for people who want to learn a positive way to approach training their dog and for anyone who wants to contemplate in a new way the dogs they know or meet on their lifepath.
