Are you frustrated by your dog’s barking, pulling, lunging, or disobedience—despite training classes, endless advice, and countless “quick fixes”? You’re not alone. Across America, dog behavior is spiraling out of control—and it’s not because dogs have changed. It’s because we have. In this groundbreaking book, dog behavior expert Jackie Eckert delivers a powerful wake-up call: the epidemic of misbehavior fueled by misguided training methods, societal myths, and everyday human habits that unintentionally make dogs worse. This isn’t another obedience manual filled with tricks and drills. It’s a wake-up call and a solution. You’ll finally see why dogs are struggling—and how to break free from the epidemic.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The hidden epidemic: Why dog misbehavior is skyrocketing across America.

• The shocking truth about training: Why popular obedience methods often backfire.

• The human factor: How subtle daily habits are shaping your dog’s struggles.

• A new path to peace: How to rebuild calm, trust, and cooperation—without gimmicks.

• A shift in perspective: How to move beyond obedience tricks and uncover the real causes of misbehavior—so you can correct it at the source.

***A NOTE TO LISTENERS: This book is different. It questions the “accepted wisdom” about dogs and exposes why so many current training methods fail. Some listeners may find that uncomfortable or even controversial—but that’s the point. Real change begins when we challenge old assumptions. If you’re ready for clarity, truth, and a lasting path forward with your dog, this book will give you the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
