This forward-looking training book provides an accessible, positive reinforcement training method to replace the obedience methods of the past. Training is essential for dogs to live peacefully and happily among humans. If you're a dog owner who seeks to build trust rather than establish dominance, you'll appreciate this approach to training that emphasizes listening, observing, relaxation, self-help, change, and games. Chapters cover lifestyle management, body language and attitude, socialization, housetraining, nutrition and exercise, grooming for health and self-esteem, creativity and games, and other important lessons.
