Inhaltsangabe

Americans own approximately 68 million dogs and according to the American Pet Association, more than 17 million dog owners claim to be as attached to their dogs as to their biped best friends. Dogs, and all the things they need, are big business! Like the extremely successful first edition, this revision of Dog Training For Dummies is valuable for owners of adolescent and adult canines as well as those who have just added a puppy to the household. It helps dog owners select the right training method for their pets, provides step-by-step instruction in basic commands, shows how to eliminate unwanted behavior, and makes training fun for both pooch and person. Included are updates on equipment and techniques, reinforcement training, professional training resources, organized dog activities, and becoming a Canine Good Citizen. An all-new section explains the revolutionary and much-publicized "clicker training" method. Dog Training For Dummies, Second Edition guides the doting doggie dad or mom in the best ways to build a mutually respectful relationship with their four-legged family member.
