Any pet owner who has ever watched her rambunctious pup tear up the living room like the Indy 500 racetrack knows that an untrained dog can wreak havoc on a home. Proper training is an uphill battle, but The Only Dog Training Book You'll Ever Need cuts through all the frustration and boils it down to the basics. With useful tips and quick fixes that will put a stop to all sorts of bad habits, this easy-to-use book helps owners build solid relationships with their dogs based on positive reinforcement, trust, and obedience—not punishment or fear.
New and longtime dog owners learn how to:
· Use click-and-treat techniques to grab the attention of even the most distracted pup
· Teach a wannabe sled dog to quit pulling on the leash and start heeling
· Stop an overeager greeter from tackling visitors by teaching him to sit, stay, and lie down instead
· Deter a motormouth from chomping through every shoe in sight by encouraging alternate behavior and providing adequate exercise
· Beat a determined digger at her own game by building a doggie sandbox
· Help a fearful, clingy pooch cut the cord by boosting his confidence with consistent training
A must-have for owners who want to start their new pup off on the right paw—or those who need to curb their disobedient dog's unwieldy ways—The Only Dog Training Book You'll Ever Need is a handy and reliable guide that dog owners will turn to time and again.
Customer Review: Helpful
This book was very helpful but still going to have to bring this crazy dog to classes.
Customer Review: Very Good Book for the Price
I bought this book since it had such a low price and the reviews were good, even though there were only a few reviews on it. I found it very informative and it makes a lot of sense. I do not have my puppy yet to see if the suggestions work, but I will definately be following it once I do get the puppy. It is pretty basic though, telling you how to teach sit, stay, come, and heel, plus has chapters dedicated to dog problems such as barking, jumping, and so forth. It focuses mainly on clicker training, and also goes over crate training for housebreaking. I would have preferred more pictures to illustrate the different things talked about, and maybe a couple of sample forms to give you examples of the logs to keep for training and all, but those are not all that necessary.
