Author Description

Many new dog owners become discouraged when they realize that many dogs are not naturally the well-behaved, obedient companions that we see in films or on TV. Just like children, they require consistent, good direction and patience to shape them into the pup we want them to be. Training your dog is not only beneficial for you and your sanity, but it also has serious implications for the safety and health of your dog, the well-being of the people and pets whom you interact with, and the money you will spend on home repairs and replacement clothing. This book, riddled with facts that correct popular training myths and filled with tidbits of scientifically proven information about canines, will familiarize you with the training basics every successful dog owner needs to transform their innocently destructive pooch into a well-trained, rule-abiding family member.
