Synopsis

This innovative guide provides easy access to the internal mindset of dogs and shows readers how to use mind instead of muscle in training them. Taking a unique no-force training approach, Catch Your Dog Doing Something Right shows that happy dogs learn faster and have fewer problems when training sessions feel like playtime. Whether a dog is six months old or ten years old, rewards such as toys, food, and games are the keys to learning new behaviors quickly and changing bad habits easily. Fifteen exercises demonstrate how dogs learn and reveal how to change a dog's behavior. Stories, facts, and step-by-step instructions make this book easy to understand. More than a training manual, it introduces a world where dogs think, problems disappear, and happy relationships flourish. February publication coincides with the Westminster Kennel Club's Dog Show, which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. There are 35 million dog owners in America.
