The Behavior Savior: The Enlightened Path to the Perfect Pet

Discipline cannot teach a dog to understand what you want. Yet, most people are taught that the only way to control their pets is through discipline and punishment. This is ridiculous, says the Behavior Savior—and she has a positive alternative to get you and your pet on the path to trust and good behavior. 

In a refreshing change from Cesar Millan’s “alpha-aggressive” pet training regimen, Dina Zaphiris’s positive techniques, laid out in simple language and easy to follow instructions, will help you coach your pet to intuitively behave well and ultimately cultivate a stronger and more loving relationship.

Best known as Malibu's "Dog Trainer to the Stars," Animal Planet's Petfinder co-host and Bonnie Hunt Show regular Dina Zaphiris has owned and operated a dog training business for over twelve years. Her clients refer to her as "the Behavior Savior" because of her uncanny ability to solve canine behavioral problems. From aggression to separation anxiety, Dina can resolve it all. 

Dina writes for several canine-oriented publications, including Dog News, and is currently on the board of directors and planners for Wallis Annenberg's Companion Animal Center in Palos Verdes, California. She is the current training director for the Greyhound rescue organization, Hemopet. Dina also trains dogs for agility and competitive obedience trials.
