How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science

70% of dog owners reported either training their dog themselves or not implementing any formal training, according to a recent study in Animals (April 2024).

With 65 million U.S. households counting at least one dog in the family last year, and dog ownership on the rise, more families are navigating how best to train their canines and deal with behavior challenges.

In her forthcoming book, How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science: A Dog Lover’s Guide to Animal Behavior and Positive Reinforcement Training, Annie Grossman, owner and co-founder of School For The Dogs, whose thousands of clients include the pampered pooches of celebrities Amy Schumer, Olivia Wilde, and Jim Gaffigan, presents a science-based approach to dog training, showing how behavior can be changed without coercion and force.

How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science features:

Speaking the dog’s language: Very few books speak to the importance of two-way communication between dogs and their owners as well as building a strong relationship with your dog and the role that plays in training.

Backed by science: The dog training techniques outlined in this book use behavioral science to not only teach the “how “but the “why,” to make learning more effective.

A great tool, no matter where you live: Most training books and classes have a suburban bias, but this book speaks to training a dog in all types of living: urban/city centers, apartment living, etc.

Written by an in-demand expert: The author founded the New York City-based School For The Dogs and has worked with a number of high-profile celebrities and thousands of clients globally thanks to virtual class options.
