Selling Used Dogs

So.... big announcement. I've recently completed a book entitled "Selling Used Dogs." This is a book about saving dogs that are doomed at shelters. I thought of many ways of marketing this book, selling it, promoting it, etc. but thought that this information is too valuable not to GIVE AWAY. So that is exactly what I plan to do.

Selling Used Dogs is over 100 pages and contains programs that shelters and rescue organizations can put into place to increase adoptions. Programs like The Bound Angels Shelter Angel Video Program. I explain the program and how to implement it step-by-step. I'm also including in the book my personal Behavioral Assessment Guide. I've used this test on hundreds of dogs in rescue, for adoption / placement and for testing the temperament of dogs which I fight to defend in court. The book is full of information, programs and ideas that I've tested and proven 100% successful. Its not a book about dog training, its a book about saving dogs and understanding them.

Some people may be put off by the title, and if you're one of those, I urge you to read the book and judge its content. My idea is we must save these dogs and if sales skills and strategies are necessary then lets do it.

This last weekend I was invited to Prescott AZ to visit the Yavapai Humane Society and teach my "Selling Used Dogs" workshop. It was a 900+ mile round-trip, and of course I had to drive; I take my dogs with me when I travel. To say this was a long weekend would be to say the least, but it was so meaningful. I met so many wonderful people that have an amazing journey ahead of them. At the helm is my good friend Ed Boks who I believe has the clear vision to make NO KILL a reality. We've worked together before and I support his work at Yavapai Humane Society, his concepts, ideas and vision. In fact, in addition to this weekends workshop, I'm offering my help to see this project through.

In the past this shelter was dealing with temperament tests that were not fair to the dogs as well as limited programs to create exposure for the beautiful dogs that live there. During this weekends workshops we focused on training dog walkers, volunteers, kennel workers, management and staff in my Binary Dog principle. A concept that breaks down basic reward based training for every person that comes into contact with every dog. I met some very cool people that are very excited to change the way things "were" done and move into the direction of NO KILL.

I believe that every dog deserves a fair chance and if they have an issue when they arrive at the shelter, we owe it to them to lend a hand and teach them some basic skills. I believe that most behaviors can be fixed with dedication and education. I believe that we can save many more dogs with proper training. My vision was shared with the nice people at the YHS and I'm looking forward to all of the wagging tails that will be walking out of the front door of that shelter and into the homes of loving families from now on.

If you'd like a copy of my book SELLING USED DOGS, please email me and I will send you your very own copy in PDF form. Its my goal to get this book into the hands of every rescue worker that shares my vision for helping dogs get out of the front door of the shelter.

Also, please be sure to support our work by joining us at our fundraiser August 8th right here in Malibu. If you can't make it, you can still support our work by donating.

Best regards,

Robert
