Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships is a book by Ken Blanchard, Jim Ballard, Thad Lacinak and Chuck Tompkins. The basics of the book are geared towards people and are similar to what we teach owners to teach their dogs: reward the positive and ignore or redirect the negative. As a play on words, the book constantly encourages the reader to tell people "whale done" instead of well done or nothing at all after observing positive behavior.

We like to share our "Whale done's" so be on the lookout for you and your dog here...
