Better Dog Behavior and Training: Correcting and Curing Bad Habits

Learn how to train your dog correctly from the start and how to curb bad habits quickly! Become a dog whisperer! Every dog owner has challenges in training their dog or dogs and, more importantly, in breaking bad habits. In fact, outside of the enjoyment they provide us, dog behavior is a major concern, even for owners with well-behaved canines. With some owners, the behavior goes beyond merely concerning and enters into the realm of problematic and even dangerous. Better Dog Behavior and Training: Correcting and Curing Bad Habits addresses the concerns of both those who just got a puppy and those with dogs in their senior years. It shows the owner and dog trainer how to master dog training through positive reinforcement, including addressing aggressive behavior, while resorting to more drastic measures only when absolutely necessary. The author, Charlotte Schwartz, is a dog behaviorist who specializes in dog training and behavior modification. She provides her insights, gleaned over decades of work, regarding how to train dogs from the beginning, how to address bad habits and developing habits, and how to make sure the dog knows what behavior is acceptable in certain settings and what is not. In the book, you will learn: *How to train the dog from puppy through their senior years *How to address dangerous or bad habits *How to escalate training safely if initial training is not working *Tips on controlling animal behavior in a safe but effective manner *Advice on solving everyday, recurring behavioral issues *How to encourage good behavior from your dog while discouraging bad behavior *Why dogs do what they do, what motivates them, and how to use that to get the behavior you want to see from your dog *What to do if your animal is particularly stubborn or develops bad behavior later on in its life. With a candor not often associated with dog training and a realistic approach to modifying problematic behavior or instilling discipline in dogs, Schwartz has put together a common sense, easily read and digested manual for anyone who owns a dog. Even if you have a senior dog who is developing some behaviors that need changing, this book can help you teach that old dog new tricks (and behavior). If you are a dog owner or if you already have dogs and want to learn a few more tricks in behavior modification, purchase Better Dog Behavior and Training: Correcting and Curing Bad Habits today!
