Ravings of a Long-Haired Dog Trainer: How Kansas City Dogs Really Learn
The articles — or “ravings” — in Ravings of a Long-Haired Dog Trainer give readers a clear glimpse into how Mike Deathe, a dog trainer in Kansas City, actually thinks about dog training.
These short pieces challenge tired, outdated ideas like “my dog should listen because I’m the human” and instead introduce a far more effective approach — learning to speak Dog as a Second Language.
The goal isn’t blind obedience.
It’s better communication.
This collection is meant to inspire dog owners to rethink behavior, question old assumptions, and explore a science-based, positive-reinforcement approach to training — all while Keeping It Simple Stupid.

If you’re dealing with real-world behavior issues and want hands-on help, this philosophy is the same one I use every day as a dog trainer in Kansas City working with families in their homes.
