Ahead of National Children’s Day in the USA today, renowned animal behaviourist Tom Mitchell, “The 1 Minute Dog Trainer”, launched his latest book, Fun, Fast & Easy Dog Training for Kids: Super Dog Training Academy.
Narrated by Roxy the Super Dog, this informative book helps children to train their dogs and build strong connections. In a recent interview about children and dogs. Mitchell said Fun, Fast & Easy Dog Training for Kids is packed with easy-to-follow instructions, fun activities, and colourful illustrations.
“Dogs deserve to be trained with respect,” Mitchell said. “Children are receptive to my 1 Minute Dog Training methods because it’s fun and easy. That’s why it’s empowering for them.”
Mitchell said that by virtue of a positive impact on children, dog training could be kinder in future. “We can stop choking, yelling at, and using harsh one-word commands to train dogs,” he said. “Dogs are not wolves. They have been our friends for thousands of years, and they deserve to be treated as family members and trusted companions. They go to war, serve the police, and make our lives happy. We love them. Let’s not ALPHA our dogs.”
Fun, Fast & Easy Dog Training for Kids highlights the innovative 1 Minute Dog Training method, ideal for busy families. The book also features the Tellington TTouch, a calming technique that has been endorsed by veterinarians and zookeepers worldwide.
“Tom’s technique changes people’s relationships with their dogs by promoting an attitude of gratitude for our canine friends,” said Linda Tellington-Jones, founder of the TTouch.
Fun, Fast & Easy Dog Training for Kids does more than train dogs; it empowers children, Mitchell said. By teaching positive training methods, the book builds trust between kids and their dogs. Studies have shown that positive interactions with pets improve social-emotional development in children.
Mitchell is a passionate advocate for pet appreciation. With over 30 years of experience as an animal behaviourist, he is dedicated to helping families build strong and lasting bonds with their dogs.
He also challenges the “Alpha Dog” theory, which has been promoted by celebrity dog trainers. He says the concept is outdated and refuted by recent scientific research and by veterinary organizations such as the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.
Instead of acting as a dominant “Alpha”, Mitchell encourages dog trainers to treat the animals with respect. This method builds lasting relationships between humans and animals, built on trust and understanding.
