This book helps you understand the method behind the behaviour.
- Learn how to create behaviours with more clarity and less confusion.
- Understand when to guide, when to reward, when to wait and when to change approach.
- Apply practical training concepts to sit, drop, heel, recall, retrieve, crate training and more.
- Build trust, resilience and stronger communication between dog and handler.

Reader reviews
What Readers Are Saying
Real feedback from dog owners putting the 5 Rings framework into practice.
★★★★★
"If you're bringing home a new puppy or you're struggling with your dog's behaviour and want to better understand how they learn, and what to do, I'd highly recommend this book. When my dog came into my life at four years old after multiple homes, he was highly reactive to dogs and people. This book helped me better understand the different ways dogs learn and when to use each method. Ryan explains the concepts in a way that's practical, easy to understand and easy to apply. Even after a year of training, I found it a valuable refresher. It's a resource I'll continue to come back to and one I'd happily recommend to any dog owner wanting to set their dog up for success."
★★★★★
"I really enjoyed this. It was easy to read, practical and didn't feel like it was full of unnecessary fluff. What stood out to me most was that it explains why the different methods work, not just how to do them. I also liked that it acknowledges every dog learns differently, rather than trying to fit every dog into the one training style. It actually got me thinking about my own dogs and how different their learning styles are, which I think is one of the strengths of the book. The examples made it easy to picture how you'd actually apply each method, and I finished it with a better understanding of the learning process as a whole. I'd happily recommend it to anyone wanting to better understand how their dog learns and improve their training."
★★★★★
"Thank you Ryan for writing this great book. It is very well written with great information and strategies to aid all dog owners and trainers. I gained valuable insight into training practices and I'm putting those strategies in place."
