The Good Dog Way: Love Them by Leading Them
Summary
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.

The Good Dog Way
Summary
World-renowned dog trainer Sean O’Shea returns with a second volume to his much-celebrated and much-shared book The Good Dog Way: Love Them by Leading Them Vol.1. What was meant to be a one-off book that would fill the training gap that so many “How-To” training books overlook — our lack of understanding of our dogs and ourselves, and how these gaps sabotage our success regardless of how much “training” we engage in — was so incredibly well-received (close to 10,000 copies sold) that it necessitated a second volume. Volume one took an overarching look at the biggest, most common mistakes owners make, and broke them down in a simple, clear, straightforward fashion that was easy to understand and led many to begin to re-examine, reset, and ultimately create far fuller and more enjoyable lives with their dogs. Volume two continues this journey of examining ourselves and our dogs but dives even deeper into the concepts that made volume one so helpful. Sean spent several years working to better understand and better explain the obstacles that he was seeing repeatedly stymie his client’s success, and unwittingly preventing them from achieving their goals. Love Them by Leading Them, Vol. 2 is the natural evolution of volume one. While retaining the unique feel of the first, and still grappling with the ever-challenging human/dog “misunderstanding” of one another, volume two explores deeper territory, deeper concepts, and offers deeper solutions in an effort to help owners become the leaders/guides their dogs need them to be in order for both species to better enjoy their lives together.

Closing the Gap
Summary
What might happen if you found your best self? What if you found the tools that could help you breakthrough? Who could you help, what could you achieve, who could you become? No matter where we are in life, we all have a gap. It's the space between our current reality and our untapped, unrealized potential. Our work, if we are to be of the best service to ourselves, our families, and the rest of the world, is to close that gap a little more every day. These are the principles I employed that took me from being a broke and broken valet at 40, to just a handful of years later becoming a successful entrepreneur, author, and world-renowned dog trainer. By closing the gap in knowledge, we can close the gap in potential.
