Jolein formulated classic ideas in a way really drive the point home to the layman. Some were so good that we are going to quote her in future theory seminars.
Here are some examples:
• The self-control of your dog depends on your own self-control.
• Selfishness is the motivation behind nearly every behavior.
• Each time you repeat a command, put a dollar in a jam jar.
• (about the ‘watch me’ exercise) If your dog is not looking at you, see it as feedback from your dog.
What experts are saying about Happy Handling!:
The publication of ‘Happy Handling’ is a milestone in (Dutch) dog training. The methods are factually sound, ethically responsible, and practically focused. Every Dutch trainer in charge of putting together a dog school curriculum needs to have read it.With its attempt at making a best-of-breed trainer out of every client, the book occasionally flirts with idealism. But hey, if you need a point of reference to build your curriculum, best you start too perfect than the other way round, right?Jolein is a beacon for modern dog training in The Netherlands. Her fair, effective and rational methods reflect the gold practices of force-free training. De Laar has become a home away from home for evidence-based trainers from all over the world. In this book, Jolein shares her years of field experience and gargantuan knowledge with trainers and owners alike for generations of well-adjusted and polite dogs. I would love to see more books by Jolein van Weperen.
