Synopsis
The techniques for training and handling big dogs are often different from those needed for smaller breeds, and this book aims to show exactly how it should be done, with diagrams and photographs for guidance. The emphasis throughout is on patience, firmness and consistency, and there are exercises to try with the dog throughout. The basic commands and signals are all covered, and there is advice on car training, training in the home and outside, and breaking habits like fighting and chasing. The authors write from practical experience, one of them as a dog handler with the Metropolitan Police.
