Book Overview

Everything you need to train your puppy, adult and even your geriatric dog - with the right approach, it's never too early or too late to achieve positive results in both dog training and behaviour modification

This publication is much more than a dog training manual; it also covers aspects of canine psychology, exploring dog social behaviour and delves into the inner workings of the dog's mind, to give you a real understanding of how dogs think and learn, that reveals why positive reinforcement training gains the best and most reliable results. It encourages you to consider your dog's natural behaviour, and to channel their instincts into positive activities, revealing why stimulating your dog's mind has many behavioural, psychological and physical benefits, that could possibly contribute to a longer life.

You will find detailed step by step instructions on how to teach all the basic commands, including toileting on command for house training, using various different positive training techniques - so you can choose the method that best suits you and your dog.

Includes a detailed puppy socialisation program, sports and activities to explore and games to play with your dog, that will not only build confidence, but will strengthen the bond between you, laying the foundation for a strong and rewarding relationship, and giving your dog a happy fulfilled life.

Some common behaviour problems are covered in detail, explaining the causes and importantly how to prevent them, but also offering solutions if your are experiencing them with your dog. This book also includes a general problem solving guide, with a checklist to help you diagnose the root cause of problems and suggests what action may be needed in order to resolve them.
