The Canine Good Citizen

by Jack Volhard and Wendy Volhard

Published 4 October 1994
The Volhards' gentle approach to training teaches the reader how to establish and enhance an ongoing rapport between dog and owner. Chapters include an overview of the history and purpose of the Canine Good Citizen Test, the Volhard Puppy Aptitude test, an explanation of how dogs do and do not learn, and a discussion on the drives of dogs. This leads up to a breakdown of the Canine Good Citizen Test and how to train a dog so that it can easily pass any of the test's exercises.
