Play Your Way to Good Manners:
Getting the Best Behavior from Your Dog Through Sports, Games, and Tricks
Winner of Best Book: Training or Sports by the Dog Writers Association of America!
Kate has teamed up with top canine sports competitor and trainer Sarah Westcott to bring you a book that makes manners training awesome!
Have you ever wondered why dogs struggle to learn polite manners such as Come and Off, but they seem to naturally pick up Paw and Fetch? Because these things are fun, of course! Dogs are playful animals, and they learn best when they enjoy the task at hand.
Play Your Way to Good Manners shows you how to approach your dog's manners training as a collection of cool tricks, exciting sports moves, and interactive games, changing your dog's attitude from "I have to do it" to "I want to do it." Kate Naito, CDBC, CPDT-KA, MS, and Sarah Westcott, CPDT-KSA, have drawn extensively from techniques used in canine sports, games, and trick training, and applied them to a positive-reinforcement manners training program that you and your dog can easily follow.
Inside Play Your Way to Good Manners, you’ll learn strategies to teach your dog:
· impulse control indoors, outdoors, and around distractions such as food or other dogs,
· coming to you, even in the park,
· polite leash walking,
· controlled interactions with kids and guests,
· games to burn energy and encourage good manners.

BKLN Manners™:
Positive Training Solutions for Your Unruly Urban Dog
“I wish Bella would stop jumping on my guests.” “If Frankie doesn’t stop barking at noises, I’m going to get evicted.” Nearly every client who contacts Brooklyn dog trainer Kate Naito, CDBC, CPDT-KA, MS, is desperately looking to stop his or her dog's undesirable behavior.
BKLN Manners™: Positive Training Solutions for Your Unruly Urban Dog is a comprehensive training guide that addresses behavior concerns common to urban and suburban dog owners. In true Brooklyn style, this book offers no-nonsense, easy-to-implement solutions to:
B: Barking
K: Knocking people over
L: Leash walking problems
N: Naughty when alone
Kate utilizes clever management techniques and adaptations of positive training strategies to help you transform your dog from unruly to urbane. Chapters are organized to identify a common dog behavior problem, and then offer both management and training solutions to make it “stop.” BKLN Manners™ tailors its solutions to include urban challenges: dodging chicken bones on the sidewalk, counterconditioning on crowded streets, neighbors’ noise concerns, and many others.
BKLN Manners™ streamlines training in two ways: by offering solutions that you can practice while already spending time with your dog on walks or at home, and by teaching behaviors that have multiple applications. As a result, your dog will have many chances to practice and generalize the behavior, giving him polite BKLN Manners™ both indoors and out.
