My library unfortunately doesn't have this book, but... I put it in for a wishlist request mentioned that at least four of us would like to read it and that I would be willing to validate. We shall see. If it doesn't get done soon, I will order a copy and submit it, unless someone wants to share a copy and I will mail it back to you. Shelley L.

But I am reading a book that is about agility and teaching dogs to remain calm in stressful environments. I think the majority of the information in this book about calming and teaching a dog to work in distractions and remain focused and calm is very useful in all assistance dog teaching. the book is "Control Unleashed" by Leslie Devitt, I have highly recommended it to my assistance dog club and thought I would mention it here. I think it is well worth the read and it is set up as a lesson plan for classes as she taught and in the order she taught so it is very useful that way also.
