You will find detailed step by step instructions on how to teach basic commands, including toileting on command for house training, using various different positive training techniques - so you can choose the method that best suits you and your dog. This publication is much more than a training manual; it explores the inner workings of the dog's mind to give you a real understanding of how and why positive reinforcement gains the best and most reliable results. It encourages you to consider your dog's natural behaviour and to channel their instincts into positive activities and reveals why stimulating your dog's mind has many behavioural and physical benefits, possibly contributing to longevity.

From a detailed puppy socialisation program to environmental enrichment, activities and games that will not only build confidence, but will give your dog a happy fulfilled life and strengthen the bond between you, laying the foundation for a strong and rewarding relationship.

Some common behavioural issues are covered in detail, explaining the causes, prevention and solutions, as well as a general problem solving guide, with a checklist to help you diagnose the root cause of problems and suggests what action may be needed, in order to resolve them.

A must have source of valuable information that allow us and our dogs to live our best lives>
