Opis

The Perfect Companion, Understanding, Training and Bonding with your Dog Written by professional dog trainer and canine behaviourist Karen Davison, is essential reading for all new puppy owners and a valuable source of information for those of us who want to get the best out of our relationship with man's best friend. 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. From a detailed puppy socialisation program to environmental enrichment and suggested activities and games that will build confidence, give your dog a happy fulfilled life and strengthen the bond between you, laying the foundation for a strong and rewarding relationship. You will find detailed step by step instructions on how to teach basic commands using various different positive training techniques, so that you can choose the method that best suits you and your dog. 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. 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.
