Teaching People Teaching Dogs - Insights and Ideas for Instructors

Dani Weinberg

Summary

The dog-training instructor's first job: teaching people!

Our human students require much more attention and understanding than do their canines. If we don't inspire their interest and cooperation, they will not be successful in training their dogs. Dani Weinberg’s experience offers insights, information, and ideas that will help all levels of instructors both develop and maintain dog training enthusiasm and work more effectively with the human students. This two-part book looks at both the student and the instructor.

You will learn:

• Ways to communicate more effectively and how to reach “difficult” students

• How to guide students towards new belief about their dogs

• What type of instructor you are and how you can adapt your type to better assist your students

• How to receive feedback, set yourself up for success, and prevent burnout

What dog trainers say about Teaching People, Teaching Dogs:

This book is conversational and informative…Taking the reader on an interesting journey from non-dog person to dog addict! I believe it will be especially helpful for those contemplating taking the big leap into instructing.

Terry Ryan, Author of Coaching People to Train Their Dogs

When a book like this makes me examine at least one new idea or reconsider an old one, it’s a worthwhile addition to my training library.

Stephanie Colman

You will become a better trainer after reading Dani's book because you'll be more aware of your training style as well as thinking about your students learning style.

Moranthology

Caitlin Moran

The follow-up to Caitlin Moran's breakout hit, How to Be a Woman—A hilarious collection of award-winning columns, available to American listeners for the first time ever.Possibly the only drawback to the bestselling How to Be a Woman was that its author, Caitlin Moran, was limited to pretty much one subject: being a woman. Moranthology is proof that Caitlin can actually be "quite chatty" about many other things, including cultural, social, and political issues that are usually the province of learned professors or hot-shot wonks—and not of a woman who once, as an experiment, put a wasp in a jar and got it stoned. Caitlin ruminates on—and sometimes interviews—subjects as varied as caffeine, Keith Richards, Ghostbusters, Twitter, transsexuals, the welfare state, the royal wedding, Lady Gaga, and her own mortality, to name just a few. With her unique voice, Caitlin brings insight and humor to everything she writes.Contains mature themes.

God Don't Like Aholes - Or...

Doc King Cole

This is an educational entertainment humor filled with real life experiences. It is unconventional in nature. Topics such as dealing with Assholes in all walks of life, and what not to do with cantankerous people. Yet it deals with God, What Men and Women Really Want, Blog Movie Reviews, PTSD, Alcoholism, Why Losing in Short Run is Better in the Long Run, Teaching; How to Teach to Students Who Are Jacked, and Achieving Any Goal, if You Believe in God and Yourself.This is a book based on experiences, research, Moreover the quote God Don’t Like A-holes is from my late father. My late sister knitted the quote and framed it for him years ago. To be sure I did not understand why he used this expression. Ironically, this came to life around his 54th birthday, which is my age at the moment. The older I grow, the more this idiom makes sense. The point is, those who mistreat you does not mean you should do the like. Anger manifested becomes a consuming fire, and does more damage to yourself. You may be familiar with the expression, ‘Do not burn your bridges.’This work is more aimed at ironing out my failures so you do not try them. Such as trying out for Pro Soccer at the age of 47 without any experience, applying and interviewing to be a CEO of Elderly Care Service in England with no experience, working as a bouncer while teaching full time, returning to the military at the age of 40, allowing a step sister to borrow your car, borrowing other people’s property like wives, or thinking God wouldn’t see me steal soldiers or match box cars at the age of 9. Moreover, not shutting up when confronted by supervisors about suggestions, or being corrected, or telling your fellow Marines in Norway they have a free day coming up before the command puts the word out.Furthermore, historical anecdotes, and topics such as the useless Veterans Preference points for jobs, teaching, bartending, and the topic of Branding, musicmaking, writing, fitness, prayer, and God will all be covered.

Lost in a Good Game - Why we...

Pete Etchells

'Etchells writes eloquently ... A heartfelt defence of a demonised pastime' The Times
'Once in an age, a piece of culture comes along that feels like it was specifically created for you, the beats and words and ideas are there because it is your life the creator is describing. Lost In A Good Game is exactly that. It will touch your heart and mind. And even if Bowser, Chun-li or Q-Bert weren't crucial parts of your youth, this is a flawless victory for everyone' Adam Rutherford

When Pete Etchells was 14, his father died from motor neurone disease. In order to cope, he immersed himself in a virtual world - first as an escape, but later to try to understand what had happened. Etchells is now a researcher into the psychological effects of video games, and was co-author on a recent paper explaining why WHO plans to classify 'game addiction' as a danger to public health are based on bad science and (he thinks) are a bad idea.

In this, his first book, he journeys through the history and development of video games - from Turing's chess machine to mass multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft- via scientific study, to investigate the highs and lows of playing and get to the bottom of our relationship with games - why we do it, and what they really mean to us.

At the same time, Lost in a Good Game is a very unusual memoir of a writer coming to terms with his grief via virtual worlds, as he tries to work out what area of popular culture we should classify games (a relatively new technology) under.
