Trained Like a Movie Dog

I was excited when I received my copy of Bonnie Judd's book "Trained like a movie dog". Looking through the lens of an adult educator, I was impressed with how the book was laid out. In the beginning of the book Bonnie clearly lays out a path to success. Bonnie's writing is succinct and easy to understand. I especially liked how the the six foundational concepts were broken down into pieces. Each concept was clearly explained and at times real life pictures from Bonnie's work were used to show the reader what each concept in action looked like.
I was fortunate enough to have taken classes from Bonnie twelve years ago.
I now have a new dog which I am trying to train using Bonnie's methods and Teddy is having trouble understanding what I want when I say 'sit'. He will sit at home in the kitchen when I ask him too, but outside or in a store or any place except home Teddy won't sit. It dawned on me when reading the book that he understands the task but not the job. This was/is transforming for me. I believe Bonnie's book can and will transform the way people relate to and understand their dogs. I know it has for me.
Lastly people learn differently. Some learn by reading, some learn by listening some learn by doing. I was not at all surprised to see that Bonnie's style of teaching touches on these three ways of learning.
I can not recommend this book enough. I think every dog owner should grab a copy while it is still available.

I am slowly working my way through Bonnie Judd's "Trained Like a Movie Dog" e-book as I want to make sure my dog Shelby and I catch everything. Bonnie makes the learning easier with her straight forward approach, which is the way I best learn and, in turn, help my dog. This is an excellent resource and I recommend it. Shelby and I are building a better relationship because of it and send our thanks to Bonnie Judd.

Having seen Bonnie’s before and after videos of how your training effects the final performance really gave me a clearer understanding of how just a brief training session can add up to a happy well trained dog. Unlike other training methods I’ve tried, my dog really enjoys his training sessions now. He comes to me now and asks to start a session. The VALUE of this book far exceeds the price, and I’ve never had such a strong relationship with my dog . The check in skill has been just life changing. The new communication skills I have with my dog have made our lives so much better now.

The best training ever!

Bonnie Judd and Canine Co-Stars’ teachings are something I use every single day — both with my own dogs and while we’re on set.

What Bonnie has taught me has allowed me to successfully live with high-content wolfdogs who are not only incredible companions, but are also currently working in film and television.

I’ve been working with dogs for over 20 years and have taken countless courses, both in person and online. Without a doubt, the things that have taken my relationship and my work with dogs to the next level are the things Bonnie teaches.

Her approach has helped me build a deeper relationship with my dogs, communicate more clearly about the expectations of our human world, and — perhaps most importantly — make the entire process fun for both of us.

There is incredible value packed into this e-book, whether you simply want a better relationship with your companion animal or you’re interested in working with dogs in the film and television industry.

If you’re serious about understanding dogs, communicating with them, and building a truly connected relationship, this is a book I highly recommend adding to your library.
