Brandon McMillan, reveals the surprising connection between dog breed, behaviour, evolution, and genetics to communicate better, train easier, and build a lasting bond with any dog. Expert trainer Brandon McMillan begins every training session with a new dog and owner by offering a deep dive into the specific breed and evolutionary forces at work in that unique dog's DNA. Every mutt, mixed breed, rescue, and even “purebred” dog has a complicated set of instincts at play, and those instincts are at the root of behaviour problems. Now, McMillan gives pet parents these surprising and necessary insights and tools to bond with their dog in remarkable ways. The key is figuring out what your dog wants and needs by recognizing the biological instincts that drive him to nip, bark, lick, guard, chase, or pull, and then finding a healthy outlet for those instincts.
