Description

The celebrity dog trainer and Emmy-winning star of the CBS show Lucky Dog shares his training system to transform any dog—from spoiled purebred puppy to shelter-shocked rescue—into a model companion in just seven days.

Each week on Lucky Dog, Brandon McMillan rescues an untrained, unwanted, "unadoptable" shelter dog. In the days that follow, these dogs undergo a miraculous transformation as they learn to trust McMillan, master his 7 Common Commands, and overcome their behavior problems—ultimately becoming well-mannered pets and even service dogs. With his labor of love complete, McMillan unites each dog with a forever family. Now, in his first book, McMillan shares the knowledge he has gained working with thousands of dogs of every breed and personality to help readers turn their own pets into well-trained Lucky Dog graduates.

Lucky Dog Lessons begins with the basics—building trust, establishing focus and control, and mastering training techniques. From there, McMillan explains his playful, careful, and kind approach to training the 7 Common Commands he teaches every dog: SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, OFF, HEEL, and NO. Next, McMillan provides solutions to common canine behavior problems, including house training issues, door dashing, chewing, barking, and common mealtime misbehaviors. Lucky Dog Lessons includes easy-to-follow steps, illustrative examples, tried-and-true tips and tricks, and photographs to demonstrate each technique. Throughout the book, McMillan shares inspiring stories about his favorite students and gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the show and some of his most unique and challenging canine encounters, including some never-before-seen outtakes.

Brandon McMillian believes that no dog is beyond saving, and the loving, positive, successful methods he offers will work wonders with even the most challenging dog. Create the happy pet family you want with Lucky Dog Lessons.

  • Amazing techniques

    This is the second dog training book I’ve read so far. The techniques he uses make so much sense to me and they are simple and straightforward. The book is even entertaining to read and not dry like the other book I read. I started reading because we want to add another dog to our family and I like the idea of rescuing a shelter dog. What I realized was how much I could have been doing with our 12 year old dog that we already have. I have applied some of his techniques and I have bonded more with our “stubborn and difficult to train” dog more in the last month than I have in the last 11 years we have had him. Highly recommend.

    Excellent book…Easy to read and understand…Who knew that a bottle of coins could be such an important training tool! Thank you Brandon for reminding us to be patient and calm while training and to love our "trainees" as unconditionally as they love us. If there is to be a second book, I will look forward to reading it.
