The student will learn how to use the principles of Attention, Association Conditioning and Control to act upon the phenomenological states of Distraction, Duration and Distance triggering or retarding the prey, play denning and pack characteristics of the dog while training. The book's philosophy is to help people understand their dog from the viewpoint of its instincts and nature. Love At First Sight attempts to reframe public awareness away from thinking of dogs as being like 'little people in fur coats' toward the higher ideal of being a significant 'Animal Family Members.'

Unfortunately, millions of dogs are destroyed each and every year due to behavior problems. These conditions exist and persist because people unwittingly harbor unrealistic expectations in regard to a canine's abilities. These unrealistic expectations stem from the erroneous opinion that dogs function at levels of intelligence more or less comparable to those of small children.

Written in simple and concise language, Love At First Sight is an easy and fast read. There are 4 parts broken down into 13 chapters and over 65,000 words taking the reader through preparation and preferences, housing and care requirements, breeds and breeders, choosing between mixed, purebred, and rescued dogs, how to train a puppy or an older dog and subjects dealing with unwanted habits, leisure activities, boarding and breeding a dog. Love At First Sight: A Woman's Guide to Choosing, Raising & Training a Dog from the Inside Out is packed with lots of valuable information and insight for the new or experienced dog owner. The student can either read the book from cover-to-cover or easily jump around from subject-to-subject using the extensive Table of Contents.
