Dog Teaching ― Surviving a Puppy Without Losing Your Mind

Dog Teaching: Surviving a Puppy Without Losing Your Mind will do just what the title implies and keep you smiling while you’re doing it. This easy-to-read guide protects your sanity while you teach your puppy how to live with humans, and it does so with a reassuring sense of humor. Methods are clearly described, based on solid, scientific principles of both dog behavior and learning theory, and the best part, without confusing jargon. You will never be asked to physically hurt or scare your puppy: no prong collars, choke chains, spray bottles or shake cans are involved. Instead, kind and gentle techniques, sometimes including the use of a clicker and dog cookies, fill the pages. This book is a complete “go-to” manual for every puppy owner, written by an author with twenty years of experience in the field. She admits she has made lots of mistakes and isn’t hesitant to share them for the benefit of the puppy.
