Quick, easy, step-by-step exercises are part of a simple, playful training method that shows readers how to take the frustration out of dog training by stimulating a dog's thinking ability. For dogs of any age, breed, temperament, or social skills, this newly revised edition of CATCH YOUR DOG DOING SOMETHING RIGHT helps dog owners discover how to motivate their dog and to understand the four factors that govern a dog's behavior, the seven qualities of successful dog handlers, and the importance of praise, rewards, and play.
