Overview

Solving dog behavior problems has never been easier or more fun-yes, fun. "A unique work that moves beyond training dogs to teaching them and developing a human-dog bond that really works." -Library Journal

"Gives dog lovers a clear view into the minds of their canine pals, and shows how to correct behavioral problems in a loving, caring way." -Jonathan Balcombe, Humane Society of the United States

"A delightfully unique and eclectic, dog-friendly training book that examines all aspects of maximizing your relationship with your dog." -Ian Dunbar, author of How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks

Dogs need to have fun. Take the stress out of training and keep the fun in with short, to-the-point sessions that both human and dog will enjoy. Imagine ten-second exercises and five-minute training sessions that teach dogs how to sit, lie down, and walk without pulling on the leash-and solve behavioral problems, even in older dogs. 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.
