Books are chosen via a poll and the weekly reading load is agreed upon on the first meeting after selecting a new book. Meetings are held on a weekly basis via zoom. DISCLAIMER: This is not a support group run by a mental health professional or physician. If you are in distress, having thoughts about hurting yourself or others, please reach out to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional.

[close] Welcome to the Dog Training & Behavioral Science Book Club, where we are dedicated to exploring the many facets of canine behavior and training. As passionate learners, we recognize the value of continuous education and are committed to staying informed about the vast array of research, techniques, and strategies. Our book club is not just about reading dog training books and behavioral science books, but also exploring human psychology and behavior books. As dog trainers, handlers, and other canine professionals, we recognize that effective communication with the humans attached to the dogs we hope to teach is just as important as understanding canine behavior. By reading books on human psychology and behavior, we can gain insights and tools to better communicate with our clients, colleagues, and even ourselves. We aim to "hack" our own personal training as well, using our newfound knowledge to improve our own skills and abilities as dog trainers. As a member of our book club, you'll have access to a diverse selection of books that cover a broad range of topics, including canine behavior, learning theory, dog training, animal welfare, and human psychology. Each month, we'll choose a new book to read together and discuss in our online forum. Our book club is a supportive community where you can learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for dogs and commitment to continuous learning. We encourage open-mindedness, and require respectful, constructive dialogue, even when our views may differ. Join us today and become a part of our community of dog trainers, handlers, professionals, and enthusiasts who are dedicated to improving their understanding of dog behavior and training, as well as their own personal and professional growth.
