Completely transformed the picture
“These workbooks guided me through a new understanding and insight into how dogs move through the world and what my role can be in that process, giving me the tools to plan, engineer, adapt, and assess their learning regardless of the objective.“
Changed my way of looking at dogs
After going through the Workbooks, I’ve come to realize that my perspective on dogs has shifted. Instead of viewing them as a system that I could program with tricks and systematic tasks, I’ve begun to consider their point of view and emotions on my day to day interactions. It really changed my way of looking at them.“
Comprehensive and rich resource
“The workbooks contain, by far, the most comprehensive and the richest resource I know about reward based training, combining for instance rich descriptions of the multiple variations underlying the use of food, of the complexity of play and of the use of powerful innovative tools developed by Kay such a “Cup on a stick” and luring.“
