Library
To check out a physical book: You can either drop by during office hours or if you can't make that, you can send an Action Request and we'll figure out a way to get it to you!
TRAINING LIBRARY
It's critical that you follow your dog's training plan and use only APA!'s recommended training techniques when working with your FP dog. Confused dogs are anxious dogs. Anxious dogs have a very hard time learning.
That said - we love curiosity and we want to expand our repertoire. So, if you would like the Behavior Team to consider a different approach, technique, style, please submit an Action Request and we will set up a meeting so you can talk it over with them!
