The best-selling guide on positive dog training is back, fully revised to include up-to-date information on canine agency and cognition, new training tips and games, and updated resources for your training success. That's The Power of Positive Dog Training.
Renowned dog trainer Pat Miller gives you the positive training tools you need to ensure that you and your dog share a lifetime of fun, companionship, and respect. Following her step-by-step, six-week basic training program, you'll learn how to develop a relationship with your dog based on friendship and positive reinforcement, not fear and punishment. Plus, you'll get:
- Information on the importance of observing, understanding, and reacting appropriately to your dog's body language
- Instructions on how to phase out the use of a clicker and treats to introduce more advanced training concepts
- A helpful diary to track progress, suggestions for delicious treats your dog will respond to, and a glossary of training terms
The third edition of The Power of Positive Dog Training includes updated studies and statistics on canine behavior, updated resources for positive dog training, new chapters on dogs' agency and cognition, and new images.
Whether you've never trained a dog or are just switching over to positive training, Pat Miller's proven method makes training your four-legged friend easy, fun, and effective. That's The Power of Positive Dog Training.
