Training a dog doesn't have to feel like work, and learning doesn't have to feel like pressure.
Dog Training & Games is a joyful, practical guide that shows families how to train, bond with, and truly enjoy their dogs through play-based learning, simple games, and everyday activities. Designed for real life, this book transforms essential dog training skills into fun, confidence-building experiences that dogs and humans look forward to sharing.
Covering everything from house training, loose-leash walking, polite greetings, recall, and impulse control to brain games, enrichment activities, confidence-building exercises, and family-friendly challenges, this book blends modern canine science with warmth, humor, and clarity. Each chapter offers easy-to-follow games and techniques that help dogs learn faster, feel safer, and stay emotionally balanced-without harsh methods or complicated routines.
Ideal for families, children, first-time dog owners, experienced owners, educators, and anyone who works or lives with dogs, Dog Training & Games emphasizes communication, trust, and connection rather than strict obedience. The book is equally suited as a training resource, a reference guide, an educational tool, or a gift book for dog lovers.
With its accessible tone, practical structure, and strong emphasis on enrichment, play, and positive behavior, this title is a natural fit for bookstores, libraries, schools, animal education programs, and community collections. It supports lifelong learning for both dogs and humans, encouraging calm behavior, confidence, and deeper bonds.
Dog Training & Games is Book Three of The Family Dog Series, following The Science & Secrets of Dogs and How to Speak Dog. Together, the series offers a complete, family-centered approach to understanding dogs, communicating with them, and raising happy, well-adjusted companions through science, empathy, and play.
