Maddie and I at my Saturday Group classes. She’s been attending my classes for roughly 3-4 months.
Maddie was brought to my group classes as she was initially a little unruly due to lack of boundaries and her manipulative tendencies.
She has since improved drastically which has made her owners’ lives easier.

BOOK REVIEW- The Force Free Dilemma by Nicola Ferguson
When I received my copy of The Force Free Dilemma, I was intrigued, as this is a topic I've always been interested in. Upon reading the book, I found it to be both clinical and witty—a compelling read for anyone looking to delve deeper into the force-free training myth and belief system. And that's precisely what it is—a belief system.
You can certainly teach a dog with positive reinforcement, but you can't stop unwanted behavior solely with force-free methods. Basic biology doesn't change due to a belief system, and this book explains that in detail, making it a fascinating read.
Nicola Ferguson skillfully guides you through the force-free world, examining every argument in detail and debunking many myths. The book is interspersed with humor, making an otherwise dry subject quite enjoyable.
For anyone who trains dogs, this should be a must-read. Be prepared to approach it with an open mind—you won't regret it. It's written in a technical yet entertaining manner, making it highly recommendable for anyone even remotely interested in dog training.
