The dog behavior problem solver
Book - 2023
"Life with a dog can bring companionship, fun, and joy! But life with a badly behaved dog can bring frustration and heartbreak. Dog behavior problems are often cited as the main reason for owners' abandoning their dogs to shelters and surrendering them to rescues. But many of a dog's problems can be resolved by a caring and responsible owner who's willing to devote a little time to positive dog training. If you're concerned about your dog's behavior, what you need is reliable help, and fast! Inside this book, dog-behavior expert and seasoned dog trainer Teoti Anderson shares her knowledge and experience with dog owners, offering insight into why dogs do what they do while showing owners how to implement cruel...ty-free, reward-based training methods in clear, easy-to-follow steps, to begin the process of teaching everything from "sit" and "down" to "wait" and "release" while eliminating unwanted behaviors.
