Of the thousands of dog training books out there, it's rare finding one that has something new to say or presents the science of positive training in a unique and meaningful way. Grisha's new book, the Ahimsa Dog Training Manual, does just that. Clear, concise, informative and extremely user-friendly, this book deserves a prominent place on every trainer's bookshelf. -Paul Owens Best-selling author of “The Dog Whisperer; A Compassionate, Nonviolent Approach to Dog Training” (Adams Media, 1999) and “The Puppy Whisperer A Compassionate, Nonviolent Guide to Early Training and Care” (Adams Media, 2007) This is it! This is the easy-to-read, concise handbook that every responsible dog owner will want to read. This manual spells out practical, step-by-step training solutions while educating the reader on the science behind the theory. Grisha is the leading authority on Behavior Adjustment Training, and shares her unique method of bringing about change in a positive, force-free, and fear-free environment. This book also shows us a way to teach loose-leash walking that is free from frustration and maps a clear strategy for us to follow. -Kyra Sundance Renowned Stunt Dog Performer and author of best seller “101 Dog Tricks” This book is a great resource for anyone interesting in understanding, or increasing their understanding of low stress, force-free handling and training techniques. Pet owners will find it a useful primer for developing a positive and trusting relationship with their dog. If there’s something you want your dog to do, or stop doing there’s a good chance this book addresses it. -Debbie Jacobs CPDT-KA, CAP2 Author of “A Guide To Living With & Training A Fearful Dog” GREAT resource for puppy buyers! It gives the basics for everything a dog needs to learn in easy-to-understand terms. – Michel Berner Review: Definite MUST HAVE book! - This book is a must have for every dog owner. Every puppy should go home with this book, as should every rescue and shelter dog. Grisha Stewart has done a fabulous job of simplifying learning theory so that even the most novice trainer can understand and apply the force-free training methods that give long-lasting results, rather than provide a temporary fix. Behavior isn't just stopped, it is replaced with a more desirable behavior that promotes a healthier relationship between dog and owner. I send a copy of this book home with every client. Those who actually read the book and follow the training methods notice improvements in their dogs much faster than those who don't, and their dogs are happier and more eager to learn! DEFINITELY BUY AND IMPLEMENT! Review: easy, quick read that is extremely helpful! - as a dog trainer, i'm always looking for books to recommend to my clients, which will also teach me something new/interesting. grisha's book succeeds in both cases. grisha has an easy, conversational style which makes this book a joy to read. her training techniques and philosophy are made very clear, and are easy to follow. she gives interesting examples of how to teach particular skills/cues, and has some new, innovative ideas to share (especially in dealing with the ever so complicated issue of dog reactivity). i also greatly appreciate her courage and honesty in discussing coercive training techniques and pointing out why they do not work, and cause pain to our beloved dogs. something that some other trainers/writers often "pussy foot" around. it's nice to see that grisha doesn't hold back. i highly recommend this book for professionals, dog enthusiasts, and doggie "rookies" alike. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #222,715 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #275 in Dog Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 205 Reviews | ## Images ![The Official Ahimsa Dog Training Manual: A Practical, Force-Free Guide to Problem Solving and Manners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61J61jnLyyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definite MUST HAVE book! *by M***E on March 6, 2014* This book is a must have for every dog owner.

Its rather short and to the point. It would be a fantastic book for a first time owner. If you have read other books or just don't quite understand the concept of dog training I would suggest getting this book. If you have already read other books on training this book is not a huge addition to your knowledge base. If your new to training this is a good book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15491185-the-official-ahimsa-dog-training-manual-a-practical-force-free](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15491185-the-official-ahimsa-dog-training-manual-a-practical-force-free) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
