Written for the pet owner, this book explains how a dog's perceptions and desires result in its conduct. Best of all, by understanding what makes your dog tick, you'll learn how to socialize and train your dog to be the companion that you want. Modifying a dog's behavior isn't hard, it's simply a question of reinforcing the behavior that you desire. By using the proven techniques described in this book, you can teach your dog to be the model companion.Veterinarian, author and animal behaviorist, DR.
