Manage It!

Hacks for Improving Your Dog’s Behavior

By: Juliana DeWillems

Narrated by: Sarah Kuklis

Most of us see dogs as part of our family and love nearly everything about them. However, there are always going to be behaviors from our dogs that we might want to change. This book outlines simple, effective ways to change your dog’s behavior that do not fall under conventional training recommendations.

Known as management, these solutions focus on preventing unwanted behaviors from occurring, leading to a more harmonious life with your dog. Each chapter dives into a different behavior issue that dog guardians commonly face, including:

• Getting into the trash

• Dashing out doors

• Jumping on guests

• Barking

• Pulling on leash

• Counter-surfing

• And more...

Management can give a family immediate relief from the challenging behavior they are experiencing from their dog and allow for progress to be built from there. Sometimes, implementing management prevents dog training services from being needed at all. While some dog training books touch on the concept of management, there is no other book that focuses as much on using this powerful technique as this one does.

In this book, you will gain an understanding of what management is and how to use it, as well as learn about dog behavior and the science of learning. Ultimately, Manage It! is about supporting and enriching the human-canine bond through behavior-change solutions that work for both ends of the leash.

Easy to Understand and Use Guide to Management

This was an excellent breakdown of the methods of management and why it is often most effective for many people. It carefully outlines many easy ‘hacks’ to your dog’s behavior problems. This is the best first stop for any family seeking help with their unruly pet.

It is descriptive and clear for anyone to understand the whys and hows of management. I am a canine behavior consultant with over 25 years of experience. I will be adding it to my recommended reading for my clients as I currently don’t have anything on the list that goes into so much careful detail.
