New #1 Bestselling Book Reshapes How We See Dogs and Dog Training 

Del Mar, CA – [April 13, 2023]
Certified professional dog training and behavior consultant, Linda Michaels, M.A., Experimental Psychology, announces the publication of her landmark book “The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behavior Handbook.” The book provides scientifically endorsed training and behavior advice designed for dog owners, dog-related professionals, and trainers for the ‘heartbeats at our feet.’

The foreword by Dr. Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today author and co-founder with Jane Goodall of the Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, states, “Seizing the moment to embed the professional Do No Harm ethic into dog training makes this book uniquely important. In an unregulated dog training industry, this volume provides a timely and much needed alternative to existing teaching paradigms.”

The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behavior Handbook explains the Hierarchy of Dog Needs–a guide for understanding how to meet dogs biological, emotional, social,  training, and cognitive needs. Emphasizing the importance of positive training, this handbook provides insight and guidance on some of the most important issues in dog care and training such as:

  • Nutrition

  • Veterinary and grooming visits

  • Aggression

  • Separation anxiety

  • Training secrets, good manners and basic skills

Guides for the assessment and treatment of behavior problems which adhere to “Do No Harm” care and training methods provide a road map to thriving with dogs, focusing on relationship-building through training.
