Summary:
A practical and proven approach. 21 Days to Train Your Dog is a
practical guide to ensuring a stress-free canine-human relationship.
This book shows how any dog can be taught the basics of obedience
training in just three weeks. The training approach -- called the
Leadership Program -- explains why dogs must fit happily at the
bottom of the family hierarchy and why problems arise when that place
is in question. In other words, "treat a dog like a human and it will
treat you like a dog." While this approach recognizes that puppies
are naturally easier to train, it enables the training of mature dogs
as well. 21 Days to Train Your Dog focuses on the everyday basics of
good doggy conduct: - Not pulling on the leash - Not jumping on
others - Returning when called - Sitting still on command. Accessible
text and clearly illustrated step-by-step photographs and diagrams
explain the techniques. Easy exercises are designed to take about
five minutes, three times a day. Training exercises rely primarily on
positive rewards and compulsion techniques for difficult dogs are
also provided. Topics include: - Differences in canine and human
perception - Recognizing manipulative behavior in dogs - How hand
signals reinforce vocal commands - The best training aids to use
(collar, leash, harness, whistle) - Managing rewards to motivate your
dog. 21 Days to Train Your Dog is the perfect training reference for
both first-time and longtime pet owners.
