An excellent guide to creative games that allow participants and
dogs to safely improve their skills together. The strategies and
varying levels of difficulty will allow anyone to set up games that
are safe, successful, and fun! -- Nicole Wilde, "author So You Want
to be a Dog Trainer, Help for Your Fearful Dog, and Don't Leave
Me!"
I have attended Terry's classes in person and keeping things fun is
one of her strengths as an instructor. These games are not just
entertaining and useful for the people; I love that Terry points
out things to watch for to make sure that the dogs are having fun,
too! -- Grisha Stewart, "author of BAT 2.0: New Practical
Techniques for Fear, Frustration, and Aggression in Dogs."
Terry Ryan never disappoints, and this is classic Terry Ryan at her
best; I marvel at (and envy!) her creativity and ability to put joy
and fun into training. If you can't find dozens of wonderful games
in this book to liven up your training classes, you aren't trying!
-- Pat Miller, "author of Beware of the Dog and Play With Your
Dog."
Terry Ryan, the singular godmother of games for dogs and their
people, has done it again. Gamify Your Dog Training provides a
cutting edge resource of clearly described and incredibly fun
training games for dog owners and every type of dog training
instructor. -- Mary R. Burch, "AKC Canine Good Citizen and Therapy
Dog Director."
This book will give coaches, students, pet owners, and especially
the dogs an endless supply of new ways to have fun together. Terry
Ryan succinctly and amusingly shows you games for beginners, team
games with props (making the props is part of the fun), and
challenging games for the advanced dogs (retrieving a roll without
eating it?) Try them all -- Karen Pryor, "author Don't Shoot the
Dog and Reaching the Animal Mind."
What a terrific collection of games to create fun and memorable dog
training sessions! This book is chock full of great ideas to
enliven training for people of all ages... and dogs enjoy it more
when their people are having fun, too! Terry's sections on
implementation are important for setting people and dogs up for
success. If you believe that lea -- Ris VanFleet, "author of The
Human Half of Dog Training and Play Therapy with Kids & Canines."
