The Good Dog Way: Love Them by Leading Them

By: Sean O'Shea

Narrated by: Sean O'Shea

After working with thousands of dogs with leash aggression, dog aggression, human aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, and overall troublesome behavior, world-renowned trainer Sean O’Shea, owner and founder of The Good Dog Training and Rehabilitation; saw some recurring themes consistently derailing the human/dog relationship. Sean discovered that countless trainers and owners were struggling to not only understand these issues but more importantly, to put clear, concise, easy-to-understand words to them.

The Good Dog Way: Love Them by Leading Them, fills that incredibly important gap. Until its release, dog training books almost exclusively focused on training mechanics, commands, and rules, but had missed the all-important "why".

Why were we struggling?

Why were we making the same mistakes over and over?

Why were our dogs a mess?

Something big was indeed missing, and without this critical piece, the foundational "why" underneath it all, even the best training and coaching practices were still struggling. Pouring several years into compiling, writing, and re-writing, he crafted a training book like no other. A book which clearly articulated how our human emotional tendencies, intellectual misconceptions, as well as a lack of understanding of our dog's true needs, were deeply sabotaging our best intentions. A book which offered simple, but profound answers for these struggles.

Note: This book is based on a balanced approach and philosophy to dog training. Its focus is on practical, realistic, and most of all, effective training. If the idea of sharing consequences with your dog for poor or dangerous choices; or if using modern, effective, and humane tools such as prong or e-collars is not in alignment with your beliefs, then this is likely not the right audiobook for you.

Truth bombs

I listed to this book straight through. I asked about an audio book and lo and behold it came out a few weeks later. I t brought tears to my eyes because it speaks so much truth about how your interactions with dogs can impact their life. this is an amazing listen!

Powerful perspective on dog-human relationships

A wonderful listen!
An eye-opening perspective on making sense of life with your dog.

As a baby dog trainer, I love Sean's social media presence. I've been fostering large dogs for years and this reinforced my methods for bringing dogs in and successfully teaching them to behave like solid citizens.

thank you for this book.

Balanced Trainer MUST read

This book was incredible. It re-affirmed so much for me and made me feel educated and also convicted. There’s no growth in a place of Pitty. This book is an incredible tool that EVERY dog owner should read.
