Dog Hair On My Guitar - Memoir Of A Musician & Dog Trainer
Norma Jeanne Laurette
​
​ISBN-978-1-9990626-3-7
345
 Pages
​Canine Queries is a fun and informative book based on Norma Jeanne and Greg's call in Radio/TV show of the same name. It walks you through the canine behaviour troubleshooting process via a series of questions from callers with real world solutions offered on the fly by Norma Jeanne and Greg. The questions range from simple behaviour issues to more in-depth behaviour problems as well as some fun and thought provoking questions. Canine Queries makes a perfect companion to the scientifically proven methods and philosophies outlined in their first book Blueprint To A Happy Dog.
Canine Queries
Dog training and canine behaviour modification are not the same. In-home canine behaviour consultations are a completely different beast requiring unique skills and a calm, level headed approach to keep all two legged and four legged participants safe. Fearful and aggressive dogs are even trickier and require a trainer with superior communications who's also well educated in all facets of science-based dog training and behaviour modification. Private Paws walks you through the best practices and safety protocols for in-home canine behaviour consultations. This book is a must-have for dog professionals and dog guardians alike.
Private Paws
Norma Jeanne has led a fascinating life from her touring days as a professional rock musician to becoming one of the most respected dog trainers on the planet. This book is chock full of life lessons for dog trainers and musicians as well as anyone else looking for inspiration. It’s filled with so many great stories from her days on the road, her transition to becoming a leading force in the dog training industry by creating Canine Correspondence Studies, the first and most comprehensive positive dog trainer course, as well as founding the International Positive Dog Training Association, which is the first association to stand up against abuse in the name of dog training. Her story is of a strong, driven and compassionate woman who never let obstacles or challenges stand in her way.

The approach and procedures given here are based on the best available current scientific data, but also upon the experience of the two authors. Between the two of them they have taught thousands of dog obedience classes and have rehabilitated many hundreds of dogs, which had been plagued with emotional and behavioral problems. They both recognize that an important aspect of modifying the behavior of dogs involves knowing something about the dog's mental state, and its emotional responses. It is only in that way that a practical plan of action can be designed. With that information in hand they can truly provide you with a "Blueprint To A Happy Dog".

I want to say thank you for writing this book. The amount of knowledge in this book is tremendous and I know my staff will learn a ton, as it is easy to understand. Thank you for all you and Greg do, to help owners, and our employees who work with dogs, to understand how they truly learn. Thank you!

It is actually the most comprehensive book I have seen so far. Clients often want a "how to" that isn't dumbed down or vague, this fits the bill! I would say this is more of a "how to and why."

​It’s a great book and I have literally read hundreds of dog training type books.
Lots of great information in it. The drawings are really good for showing body language and I’m going use them with my new staff to help them to know what to look for.

I found your book very interesting and fascinating.  It really helped me to understand my dog's fears and anxieties.  I have already recommended your book to many friends who are pet owners. 
John Ruys

Thank you for writing this wonderful book on our dogs! The historical perspective and explanation of techniques is so important. I have already mailed my second copy to the dog rescue where I found Rosie.

Savouring every word, chapter and verse! This book is for anyone and everyone that wants only the very best for their dog. Truly a book needed if you want a Happy Dog.

Stop watching Cesar Millan and read this book instead.

I’m not usually into this style of book, but I couldn’t put this one down. Norma Jeanne and Greg are excellent authors, and managed to make this feel like a journey with humour, tears and an overall better understanding of any furry friend.
This book not only teaches you how to love your furry babies, neighbours and strangers better, create a better understanding to the cause and reason behind actions, but also debunks myths and incorrect ideologies that the average person uses as facts; such as alpha mentality (you don’t need to dominate / intimidate, hurt or pin your dog), balanced training methods (this is not effective), canine communication and temperament (what this really means) and the foundations of ensuring your dog has a fulfilling life (it needs so much more than food and water).
It’s also going to give you a world of solutions to behaviours you want to help your dog with – that will actually work and not create a bigger problem down the line.
This is one of the only learning / teaching materials for training dogs that isn’t full of ego and actually gives you the resources to fact check the thought – not just the excuse of “I’m a dog trainer I know everything” – their sources go back to World Wars 1 and 2 – when training canines was first introduced to society in the early 1900’s.
Basically what I’m saying – 10/10 recommend this read.

As someone who has spent a large part of my professional life working with animals, particularly dogs, Greg and Norma Jeanne are my first go-to resources when I have any questions about canine motivation and communication. Their previous book, Blueprint to a Happy Dog contains ideas that readers, (both well read in canine psychology and neophytes alike) will find novel, fascinating, and practical. I can say the same of their most recent book, Canine Queries which uses a lighter, more conversational format to engage the reader making it accessible to the layperson, while still bearing footnotes to the scientific studies which inform the authors’ approach to common canine behaviour problems, inviting cross referencing and further insight. Canine Queries is an engaging and useful dog training book seasoned with waggish wit, humour and talk show banter.

After being outside I love a latte and a good read. I usually read quickly but some books you wanna save a little bit for every day? That’s Canine Queries!

I have really enjoyed reading your book “Private Paws”. Some parts made me cry and some made me laugh out loud! For anyone who wants to start private behaviour consultations, there is invaluable information in your book.

I’m already 1/3 through Private Paws, nodding my head like yup and smirking. This is so raw and accurate. I split it up into three separate days so I could absorb and retain all the information but I was dying to not put it down. Lots of highlighted points! Wish I had this book years ago – you will love it!

Dear Norma Jeanne, a copy of your new book arrived late Saturday and I spent most of Sunday reading it. It was an engaging tale of a fascinating life (thankfully still going on). Lots of interesting characters, both two and four-footed. I really enjoyed it. I felt honored that you included my pencil sketch of you performing. I wish you all the best of luck with this book and with the ones that are still in the creative birth canal.

I just finished the book. Wow! You are an awesome writer.
​You had me laughing, crying, gasping and enjoying your roller coaster ride. What a life!

This is an incredible read! So much information to be able to refer to for years to come. Thank you sooo much!

I have just finished Dog Hair On My Guitar by Norma-Jeanne Laurette. It is a memoir of her life as a musician and a dog trainer. Dog Hair On My Guitar is also a story of perseverance, self-reliance, strength, wisdom, humour, and life stories, suitable for everyone. I recommend that you read this fine book.
Jennie Marshall

I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying your memoir, it’s a page turner! It just blows my mind how many seminars you have been to for doggy training and behaviour. It's been awesome getting to know so many interesting things about you! So proud of you for opening up and sharing with the world about yourself, your journey, your courage and amazing insight!!! 
​Teresa Hasson

​I sat down to take a quick look at your book because I had things to do but I couldn’t stop reading! Before I knew it I had read fifty pages. Love it, love it, love it!!!
​Maria Kemmett

I love your book! You're a good writer. I like how you write like you talk, intelligently and telling it like it is. I like the short sections that give me the option of continuing reading or not. I usually keep reading, though, so I guess I'd call it a 'page-turner'. And I like being able to see photos of the people and animals that you write about. Your writing shows both courage and compassion. Just like you.
