Training Super Service Dogs: How To Train The Most Supportive Service Dog And Companion Volumes 1 & 2

This guide is the most comprehensive, well written, very thoroughly explained teaching tool. The author makes a concerted effort to fully explain the steps to teach your dog various commands, and the reasons for those steps. I am confident that you will not find a better training guide. For those individuals aspiring to train dogs to become service dogs, I highly recommend this book.

The section on building an emotional bond between the handler and their dog is done remarkable. It covers a combination of training tips, while emphasizing the trust there must be between the owner and their dog.

As a first-time dog trainer, I was initially intimidated by the process, but this book made it manageable. It’s detailed yet easy to follow, with practical tips for every training stage. I especially appreciated the section on behavioral adjustments, which helped me customize my dog’s responses to fit specific needs. Some tips were a bit repetitive, but they reinforced the main ideas well. I’d give it five stars for making a challenging task feel accessible. This guide is ideal for new trainers and anyone looking to develop a well-trained companion.

This book doesn’t just teach commands; it emphasizes creating a meaningful connection with your dog, which has made training much more rewarding. The positive reinforcement tips helped me understand my dog’s behavior and tailor the training to fit my needs. Some parts felt repetitive, but I believe it was intentional to reinforce key points. I’d rate this five stars because it makes the training process approachable and effective. Ideal for anyone who wants a more compassionate, bond-focused approach to service dog training.

My favorite book on topic from all the ones I bought.

As a dog training book is not good only took me a few chapter to realize that most of the practices are gonna get you frustrated pretty fast i decide to keep reading and the book have some clear points of what suppose to be a service dog more not how to train your dog to be one, not recommended

This book is a game-changer for anyone who wants to train a service dog for mobility issues. I appreciated the attention to detail, though I wish there was more about adapting to different dog breeds. The wheelchair-friendly exercises were well-thought-out, and the book clearly explains how to modify commands for those with limited movement.

As a retiree with a newfound passion for volunteering with service dog organizations, I found this book to be a treasure trove of information. The author covers every aspect of training service dogs for people with disabilities, offering valuable insights and practical advice. The personal stories interspersed throughout the book were both touching and inspiring. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to learn more about the incredible world of service dog training.

I really found these two volumes to be all encompassing for what I am needing to train for my dog. I have mobility disabilities and this covers them all. Also very good as far as guidelines for us to follow with respect to ADA regulations and for us to be good spokespeople on behalf of service partners
