The Love That Dog Training Program

Description

In THE LOVE THAT DOG TRAINING PROGRAM, a lively, accessible, authoritative book, she shares her invaluable and proven program. Her method is based on positive reinforcement. She believes in trust and treats, not choke collars; in bonding, not squeezing or hitting. Her dogs are happy and self-confident, spirited yet very well-behaved. The basic program is five weeks, it takes only 15 or 20 minutes a day, and it works for both puppies and dogs, including retraining a dog with bad habits. Illustrated with step-by-step photographs, THE LOVE THAT DOG TRAINING PROGRAM covers hand-feeding. Crate training and potty training. Simple commands-sit, stay, come here-as well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct common behavioral problems including jumping, barking, noise phobias, hiding, and more. Then: how to make your dog comfortable in the world-a dog that travels well, knows how to behave in a dog park or vet's office, is comfortable around strangers, and more. As the author points out, dog training never ends, it just gets easier-and even more rewarding
