How to Train Your Human

Your human thinks they are training you.

How adorable of them! They have the leash, the treats, the commands, and the confident little voice they use when they say "sit." What they do not understand is the first law of life in a shared home: every treat trains two creatures.

How to Train Your Human is a witty, affectionate field guide written from the other end of the leash. Through the eyes of one ambitious puppy, it reveals the hidden psychology of bonding, reinforcement, routine, attention, and love, and quietly answers the question every dog already knows the answer to: who is really training whom?

Inside, you will learn:

• Why a well-timed gaze rearranges a human from the inside
• Why calm is the strongest form of influence in the house
• Why the best rewards are the unpredictable ones
• Why punishment ruins trust on both ends of the leash
• Why the finest training leaves no fingerprints

This is not an obedience manual. It is a smart, funny, unexpectedly tender book for dog lovers who have always suspected their dog understands more than it lets on.

For anyone who has ever been walked by a dog, forgiven by a dog, or quietly reorganized their whole life around a dog's happiness, here is what was happening the entire time.

The human thought they owned the dog. The dog knew better. Much, Much better.
