Author Teoti Anderson provides the last word on dog training. Ultimate Guide to Dog Training, now available in paperback, is the most comprehensive single volume ever written on the subject and is the one training manual every dog caregiver needs in his or her home!
Dogs have a great affinity for humans—they have an uncanny, almost intuitive understanding of our moods. However, dogs are not born knowing how to live with us. They inherit a set of species-specific behaviors that oftentimes clash with how we want them to behave in our houses and in our lives. This is where training comes in. Training your dog means you give him the tools to understand what behaviors are acceptable as the family dog.
When it comes to dog-training books, owners can be overwhelmed by choice, with literally thousands of titles available. Finally, there is one book that can do the training of thousands—Ultimate Guide to Dog Training encompasses every topic: from the puppy’s first lessons and house-training to advance training methods and retraining rescue dogs, rebellious teens, and seniors.
Let respected dog trainer and dog behavior expert Teoti Anderson, CPDT-KA, KPA-CTP, show you easy and reliable ways to train your dog! Inside this book, Teoti offers straightforward advice and easy-to-follow instructions for each topic, all based on her success-oriented positive-training methods. From selecting the right training equipment and avoiding common first-time owner mistakes to executing the perfect heel cue and solving complicated behavior issues, Ultimate Guide to Dog Training will remain an indispensable guide for any dog parent for years to come.
Inside, you’ll find complete puppy training, from house-training to socialization; an easy-to-understand scientific explanation of positive training methods; clear step-by-step instructions for the clicker training method; a comprehensive training program for teenage and adult dogs, from beginner to advanced; training important skills like Sit, Stay, and Come (the recall); an introduction and basic overview of 35 dog sports and activities, from obedience and agility trials to weight pulls, dock diving, skijoring, and more; training tips for small dogs, giant dogs, and dogs with special considerations; solutions for 25 of the most common behavior problems; 24 favorite tricks you can teach your dog, from balancing a bone on her nose to jumping through a hoop; a handy resource section of websites, associations, and publications; and a glossary of training terms.
This complete guide has everything you’ll need to train a well-mannered dog. Teoti’s down-to-earth style and years of experience will make this guide invaluable throughout your dog’s life. By learning how to communicate with your dog, you will ensure your dog’s place as a well-behaved and beloved member of the family.
