Synopsis
What if your dog chose good behavior over bad—every time? With your help, he can! Drawing on more than a dozen years as a dog trainer for Search and Rescue, cancer research, and Malibu celebrities, Dina Zaphiris—a.k.a. the Behavior Savior—has created an ultra-positive, science-based system that strengthens the bond between you and your pet, and lays the foundation for good behavior.
Zaphiris is best known for sharing her tips weekly on the Bonnie Hunt Show and as co-host of the Animal Planet program Petfinder. Now, in her definitive book, the Behavior Savior lays out the approach that can solve any pet problem—from barking to aggression to separation anxiety, and more. In a refreshing change from the once-trendy “alpha-aggressive” pet training regimens that don’t work, Dina Zaphiris’s positive and proven training techniques will help you cultivate the perfect, enlightened partnership with your pup.
“Dina Zaphiris’s methods work. It’s as simple as that. Just give her your damn dog!”
—Keyshawn Johnson, former NFL star and author of Just Give Me the Damn Ball!
“Reading The Behavior Savior is like attending couple's therapy with your dog. Dina Zaphiris gives every dog owner what we've always wanted: a program for helping our pets become the good dogs they want to be, based on love, respect, and kindness. I am so grateful to be given permission to train my dog with the affection I feel!”
—Bruce Cameron, author of A Dog’s Purpose
"Dina beautifully communicates her unique and effective approach to syncing owners with their dogs. She truly demonstrates how to transform the average pet into your best friend and a respected companion."
—Jarod Miller, animal behaviorist and television host
“Contrary to what some TV shows may claim, there is no quick fix, no ‘magic wand’ to dog training. As Dina skillfully describes in The Behavior Savior, teaching a dog that reliably ‘loves to listen’ requires a lifelong commitment that takes hard work and, most of all, is fun for animals and pet owners alike—the sort that can only come from training with positive reinforcement.”
—Grey Stafford, Ph.D., author of ZOOmility: Keeper Tales of Training with Positive Reinforcement, spokesperson, and Director of Conservation for Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium
“The Behavior Savior tells you everything you ever wanted to really know about training your dog and a solution for it too! Dina Zaphiris makes the information readily available for preventing problems and managing your dog for life. I loved the “Move Away” game and the Environmental Cues.”
—Robert H. Brandau, Court Qualified Canine Behavior Expert, CEO of Canine Companions www.GetYourDogTrained.com"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
