Books By Andrew Ledford
Picking The Perfect Puppy Or Dog
For more than thirty-five years Andrew Ledford has worked at the intersection of two deceptively similar problems: how people change their own behavior, and how they change the behavior of their dogs. As he puts it, “it has been a career of helping dog owners make their bad dogs good and their good dogs great.”
His understanding of dog temperament and behavior came through an unlikely chain of connections. An interest in Bruce Lee’s philosophy led him to Guro Dan Inosanto, one of Lee’s students, who introduced him to Len Sana of International Police Dogs. Sana became both friend and mentor, and his influence runs throughout this book.

Dog Training Strategies, Tactics, and Personal Insight
Andrew has reimagined his original 101 Dog Training Tips into practical advice for not only changing your dog’s behavior, but the behavior of humans as well. This is not a, how to train your dog book, it’s more of a, what humans need to do when training their dog book. Because in order to change the dog’s behavior, the human needs to change their own behavior. Those who learn about the wisdom of dogs understand there is a natural order to things. Many people feel that dog training is only about training the dog. However, the skills and underlying principles transcend dog training and apply to most areas of one’s life. Dog training is simply a microcosm of life, relationships, learning, and problem solving.
To Website or Not To Website
This book is out of production
This book was an interesting experiment. It has some useful information that will someday be folded into another book.
You know you need a new website, but you keep putting it off. You may not be sure how a new website will benefit your business or what you’d really do with it.
“To Website or Not To Website” is a primer on why we sometimes don’t do the things we know we should be doing and how to change. It’s a short book on purpose. Less pages to read equals less effort, because effort always has a cost.
Out Of Print
I plan on rewriting this book in the future.
Change And Transition: Through Skill Acquisition For Sales, Lead Generation And Marketing.
I’m addressing two subjects in this short book: changing a narrative and field marketing. They are distinct yet connected.
The book is a primer for anyone who wants to change their life.
The book is a primer for businesses, field marketers and lead generators.
This is the first volume in the Change and Transition series and it takes a look at how to transition from a state of becoming to a state of being. Using insight about how psychomotor skills, as well as social and emotional dynamics are used to change behavior, combined with my experience as a lead generator, salesperson, and dog trainer. This is the first in in what I plan to be a series of books on how to transform lives using examples from both field marketing and dog training. People are always in a state of transformation, they’re always in a state of becoming something they have never been before. The insight about transitioning through life can be applied to change in anyone’s life. Transitions are both a time of danger and opportunity.
