I would be on drugs.

There would be no doubt with regards to it. If I was in high school today galore guidance counselor would have suggested and strongly commended that I be put me on a lot of type of drug therapy to get through high school.

You see, I barely, and I mean barely, squeaked out with a diploma. I was actually just pushed through my junior and senior year of high school. When I look back on my school days, I was genuinely just pushed through most of my schooling.

I was “diagnosed” as having a learning disability in the third grade. Today I would would be classified as ADHD.

Some of my teachers would in a literal sense fall out of their chairs if they knew that I had written a book called The Amazing Dog Training Man.

It’s not that I couldn’t learn, I just had a very active brain and I was BORED out of my mind. I could not concentrate on what was being taught but, when I had a subject and a teacher that was interesting, I was at the top of my class.

You see, I love to learn but for a lot of weird reason, it has to be on my terms. I have traveled all over the United States and sat for days at a time to learn from galore of the best dog trainers in the world.

So why do I percentage all of this with you?

Simple…

I am asked by a lot of people if it is possible for their dogs to have canine ADHD. My honorable opinion is that I have NEVER come all over a dog that I felt had any kind of learning disability.

What I have found is that the dog that is having a difficult time learning obeisance is ordinarily a dog that cannot compensate attention. I worked with a dog, not too long ago, that had so much pent up energy that he veritably could not focus. The dog was kept in a crate each day, once in a while up to ten hours. I tried and tried to explain to the person that owned the dog that no amount of training may get over an exercise problem. I won’t go into it today but the story had a very tragic ending.

One of the big influences on my training career was a British dog trainer, John Rogerson. I had the outstanding chance to attend his seminars in New Hampshire and Memphis, TN.

Mr. Rogerson made a very simple but unfathomed statement that I have never forgotten. He stated: “In order to have a good dog, you have to be a good dog owner.”

Brilliant!

It changed the way I helped persons train their dogs. I boiled down what I felt were the four necessary steps to getting a good dog owner. Here they are:

Step #1: Effectively control and manage your dog’s behavior. Or as I wrote in my book, The Amazing Dog Training Man, – M.O.B. Rules which stands for Management of Behavior.

Step #2: Give your dog sufficient exercise. There are two forms of exercise that each dog needs. Physical and Mental. Your dog needs to exercise his body and his brain.

Step #3: Become the leader. Dogs do respond to structure. Structure your kinship so your dog understands that you are in charge.

Step #4: Learn in regards to behavior. Learn when to reinforce conduct and how to stop behaviors.

By following those four steps you’ll develop a outstanding kinship with your dog and your dog will become much more responsive to your training.

And do not forget that all training starts with attention. Your dog has to be paying attention to you before they will respond to any of your commands. It’s your occupation to get and keep your dog’s interest when you are training.

Good for beginning runners only
By Steve J. Wood
I’m an avid runner and do most of my training/racing on roads. Thought I’d pick this up to get a lot of info on converting to trails or at least running more on trails. I will still do so, but not because of having read this book. The only info of value for me was the division on animals and what to do when you see them. Ie. Grizzly vs Black bear, etc. Other than that, the writers make it a point to put down road-runners at each chance they may get. From footwear and costume choices, to complex mental states and mindsets-these writers without doubt or question feel that they are better than your intermediate road runner. Most of the trail runners I know are easy-going, laid-back, and very likely to support any person out–definitely not the snarky Chase and his co-author. However, having said all that, if you are a beginning runner and may ignore the unnecessary side-bars, you could gain numerous standard running psychological result of perception learning and reasoning from this book.

Lots of info
By KadiyaRp
While the book does have a lot of good information, I found it all to be overwhelming, closely like they were writing the book for humans who already ran trails. It made me want to give up because I felt like I could never be as good as these other humans the book was referring to.

Good info for beginners
By J. Forrest
Good book for beginners who don’t know much with regards to trail running. It covers all of the bases from techniques, clothing, dealing with weather changes, hydration,and encounters with wild animals.
