    What You'll Study

    The Behaviour Bible takes you through three clear stages, from understanding why dogs behave as they do, to handling complex behaviour cases with confidence.

    Learn From Real Cases

    Theory matters, but professional judgement develops through seeing how real cases unfold.

    The Behaviour Bible includes detailed case studies that follow dogs and their owners through assessment, planning, practical training and follow-up.

    You'll see:

    • How information is gathered during the consultation
    • How the behaviour plan is built
    • Why specific protocols are chosen
    • How owners are coached
    • What happens between sessions
    • How plans are adjusted when progress changes
    • How difficult professional decisions are handled

    The case studies cover separation anxiety, resource guarding, dog-to-human aggression, dog-to-dog aggression, predation and compulsive behaviour.

    You won't only see polished results. You'll see the reasoning, the setbacks and the decisions that shape the outcome.

    What People Are Saying

    The Behaviour Bible has been at the heart of the Restart Dogs programme since day one, and I can say with absolute conviction: it has changed lives.

    Working in prison settings, we often meet individuals who've been failed by the education system—many excluded at a young age, carrying the belief that they're "not academic", "not clever enough", or simply "not worth teaching". But something remarkable happened when we introduced the Behaviour Bible.

    The accessible, science-led content—delivered in such a down-to-earth, engaging way—made complex ideas feel not just understandable, but exciting. It allowed learners to see themselves not as 'inmates' or 'exclusions', but as thinkers, analysts, and future professionals. For some, it was the first time in years they felt intellectually capable and confident.

    I'll never forget one young man, excluded from school at 11, labelled "unteachable" for most of his life. Through the Behaviour Bible, he discovered behavioural analysis. He began to light up during sessions. He went from being overlooked and undereducated, to leading peer discussions on reinforcement theory and emotional modulation. It was nothing short of transformational.

    To the team at the School of Canine Science—thank you. Thank you for giving us permission to use the Behaviour Bible in our programme. Your work has reached far beyond the dog training world. It's given some of society's most marginalised people a sense of purpose, curiosity, and pride.

    It hasn't just helped us train dogs. It's helped us rebuild people.
