Raising Superstar Dogs
Seminar DVD covers Jerry’s Superstar Program from birth through
12 weeks old; the earliest age Jerry recommends sending pups to
their new homes. Professionally using lecture and video,
Jerry weaves a clear and precise picture of how the program
works. This is a must see video for all breeders, and, when used
as a guide to selecting a caring breeder, will aid the future
puppy-family in selecting the best breeder.
This DVD is an excellent resource to go
with Jerry’s new book, *The Breeder's Guide to Raising Superstar
Dogs* was released in late April 2008. The book explains the
"Superstar Program" that Jerry created. The program was
developed to prepare puppies to be better members of our
society. Through early socialization and imprinting techniques,
the Superstar program gives puppies a head start on life and
drastically decreases the chances of behavioral problems,
thereby proportionally decreasing the chances of the puppy
needing to be re-homed or even worse, euthanized. The book is
intended for breeders of all breeds; anyone thinking of
obtaining a new puppy, and trainers that advise clients on puppy
selection or that advise breeders on preparing pups for life.

What others are saying about "Raising
Superstar Dogs"
When I read books that I really love,
I always make notes in the margins and use a highlighter so
I can easily refer back to comments I especially liked. I
wasn't a page into this book when I found myself scrambling
for a highlighter! This book, contrary to the title, belongs
on the shelves of all dog trainers, rescue personnel,
shelter workers, certainly. But even more it belongs in the
hands of breeders, and the general public!
This book very
succinctly lays out, in easy to read and understand terms,
the sensitive periods of dog development. Better yet, the
author explains why they are sensitive periods and exactly
what the breeder should be doing during each one. This book
also makes some painfully honest statements about what the
breeder's responsibility should be and, unfortunately, so
often people who breed dogs do not take this responsibility
seriously. |

My instructors and I, as well as
other dog trainers all over the country that I talk to, are
seeing an alarming increase in aggression in our puppy
classes. One of these reasons is certainly that
genetically, people are not doing proper research and making
proper choices in regards to temperament of breeding stock.
Looks are not enough! Being from "show stock" or "AKC
registered" is no guarantee. Another reason is that the
general public has no idea of the developmental periods in
dogs; therefore they make error after error, not just in
raising the puppy, but in their choice of a breeder.
People who are breeding dogs who
are not properly educating the puppies or who allow puppies
to leave their mother at too young an age do everyone a
disservice. The problem is people still get puppies from
these sources because they do not know any better. This book
is an excellent source for puppy-buyers to educate
themselves about what a good breeder should be providing.
The author goes over the details of
what breeders can do to make a lasting impact on the life of
the puppy that they helped to bring into the world. The
intimate understanding that this author has of the power of
imprinting and other early puppy training is passed along to
the rest of us in a way that everyone can easily utilize. No
matter how you are involved "in dogs" this book will help to
increase your understanding and enjoyment in the
relationship that you create with your dog.
The puppies that come from a program
such as this one, will surely be the best dogs that they can
be: Superstar Dogsl

Bio. . .
Jerry is the
owner of Canine Behavior Clinic, located in Milner,
Georgia. He and all of his instructors at CBC pride
themselves on their ability to solve problems using
positive reinforcement training methods.
Jerry has been training dogs professionally since 1975
and has more than 30 years experience including a formal
education in the area of psychology and an in-depth
understanding of learning theory.
Jerry’s first book, The Breeder’s Guide to Raising
Superstar Dogs, focuses on the breeder’s job of
preparing pups to become part of our society and be
“Superstar Dogs.” In that book, Jerry introduces the
Superstar Program which begins shortly after birth and
continues until about fourteen weeks of age. In this
book, The Workbook for Breeders Raising Superstar Dogs,
Jerry provides an easy-to-follow program, including all
the forms needed to track the progress of a Superstar
litter as they grow from well-bred pups to social,
outgoing, well-mannered members of society.
Jerry is currently working on two additional books. One
book focuses on the advancement of the Superstar
Program, covering the time from when the pup leaves the
litter until eighteen months old. The other book is
focusing on a reward-based approach to training for
protection sports.
In addition to being a member of the American
Psychological Association, Jerry is a certified dog
behavior consultant with the International Association
of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), a professional
member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT),
