Bad Human, Good Dog: Stop Sabotaging Your Dog with Your Own Weird Habits (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798253172247)

Your dog isn't the problem. Your weird habits are.

You repeat commands five times and wonder why your dog ignores the first four. You tense up on the lead and can't figure out why your dog goes haywire. You say "down" when you mean "off the sofa," "lie down," and "stop jumping on me" - and then blame the dog for being confused.

Sound familiar? Don't worry. You're not a bad person. You're just a bad human. And the good news is - unlike your dog - you can change.

In Bad Human, Good Dog, Pascal and Michelle Cazin of The K9 Clan cut through the noise of the dog training world to deliver one simple, liberating truth: fix the human first, and the dog sorts itself out.

Across five practical, no-fluff sections, you'll learn:

• Why your emotional state is sabotaging every training session before it starts
• How to give commands your dog will actually respect - the first time, every time
• The difference between bribing your dog and actually training it
• How to build a dog who behaves in the real world, not just your living room
• Why "more walks" isn't solving your dog's behaviour - and what actually will

Every chapter ends with a Human Homework exercise - one small, specific action you can take today. No jargon. No guilt. Just honest, practical guidance from two people who've made every mistake in the book (and written this one so you don't have to).

Puppy, teenager, senior rescue - whatever dog you have, this book meets you where you are.

Your dog has been waiting for this version of you. Let's go.
