Only Dog Training Book You'll Ever Need

Turn your delinquent canine into your well-behaved best friend and you'll never have to shout 'Bad Dog' again!

Any pet owner who has ever watched her rambunctious pup tear up the living room like the Indy 500 racetrack knows that an untrained dog can wreak havoc on a home. Proper training is an uphill battle, but The Only Dog Training Book You'll Ever Need cuts through all the frustration and boils it down to the basics. With useful tips and quick fixes that will put a stop to all sorts of bad habits, this easy-to-use book helps owners build solid relationships with their dogs based on positive reinforcement, trust, and obedience-not punishment or fear.

Longtime trainer and co-founder of Canine University, Gerilyn Bielakiewicz uses proven, easy to use techniques to help you:

• Use click-and-treat techniques to grab the attention of even the most distracted pup
• Teach a wannabe sled dog to quit pulling on the leash and start heeling 
• Prevent your over-eager greeter from tackling visitors by teaching him to sit, stay and lie down instead 
• Deter a motor mouth from chomping through every shoe in sight by encouraging alternate behavior and providing adequate exercise 
• Beat a determined digger at her own game by building a doggie sandbox 
• Help a fearful, clingy pooch cut the cord by boosting his confidence with consistent training

A must-have for owners who want to start their new pup off on the right paw-or those who need to curb their disobedient dog's unwieldy ways.
