"For too many years, dogs have been unnecessarily trained with harsh and combative methods. The Right Way the First Time is straightforward, easily read, and will assist caring dog owners in developing appropriate behavior in a compassionate way and in a fashion that will strengthen the bond between dog and owner."
Lore I. Haug, DVM, MS, CPDT, Diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists

“The author captures beautifully the essence of positive training, telling us what we know but do not always put in to practice: dogs are sentient beings who are just like us in the sense that they respond better to loving leadership that rewards than to leadership by force.”
Lynn Hoover, MSW, CDBC, author of The Family in Dog Behavior Consulting, President & founder, International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, Inc (IAABC)

“The Right Way the First Time: Teaching Your Dog Kindly and Humanely is beautifully written and has great content for discerning and naive dog owners.”
William E. Campbell, author of Behavior Problems in Dogs, The New Better Behavior in Dogs, and Dog Behavior Problems: The Counselor’s Handbook
