Synopsis:
"This book...should be required reading not only for beginners but for the advanced trainer as well." —Jim Dearinger, AKC Vice President, Obedience
Tom Knott, a professional trainer with more than thirty years′ experience and an all–class AKC Obedience judge, teaches owners and trainers how to use building blocks in training and prevent them from becoming stumbling blocks.
The Complete Handbook of Dog Training shows readers how to make dog training a most enjoyable experience for both handler and dog. Progressive training techniques focus on teaching the dog how to learn and helping the handler avoid unintentional training. Here the reader will find detailed instruction, abundantly illustrated for all levels from Kindergarten Puppy Training through Utility. Chapters focus on teaching the young puppy through simple exercises and training play, and teaching the novice dog by minimizing corrections and abundant praise. Sections on Open training offer unique solutions to common problems and Utility chapters show training aids for the most advanced exercises.
