Dog Training Made Easy By Learning How To Communicate With Your Dog On HIS Level : Do You Speak Dog?

Dog Training Made Easy By Learning How To Communicate With Your Dog On HIS Level : Do You Speak Dog? Review



Even the most unruly dog can be trained if you just know how to talk to him!

If you are a dog owner, you probably already know how challenging dog training can be. Dogs have their own personality and their own ideas about what they want to do and it’s not always what you want them to do. Couple that with the fact that most people aren’t born being able to simply “whisper” to dogs and get them to do their bidding and you have a recipe for frustration.

All dogs are not created equal so it stands to reason that not all dogs should be trained the same way.

In fact, in order for dog training to be successful, you have to learn how to talk your dogs language. Not just “dog language” the language that your specific dog talks.

The mistake that most people make with dog training is to try to get the dog to understand them, when they should be working to understand the dog. And that's what this book will help you do - talk to your dog in a language that HE will understand!

Once you do that, you will find that dog training is not only easy and fun but you will quickly be able to turn your dog into the obedient companion you always wanted.

Training Your German Shepherd Dog (Training Your Dog Series)

Training Your German Shepherd Dog (Training Your Dog Series) Review



Barron's Training Your Dog titles offer breed-specific advice on virtually every aspect of canine training, including housebreaking, obedience to basic verbal commands and hand signals, retrieving, and walking the dog on a leash. These books also discuss humane methods for breaking a dog's bad habits. The German Shepherd is intelligent and a quick learner, which makes him highly trainable. However, training of this fine dog should begin early in life. German Shepherds are best suited to owners who are calmly authoritative and consistent in their training methods.

Schutzhund "Top Working Dogs", Training Manual

Schutzhund "Top Working Dogs", Training Manual Review



This is the fifth edition of "TWD", a Schutzhund Training Manual written by the first licensed, FCI accredited German Schutzhund Judge to reside in the US. It is presented in a factual, concise and easily understood manner, a "how-to" book novel and unique in several ways: ** it presents in detail the methods that experts use - but never reveal ** it offers a multitude of approaches for the individual routines ** it lists, for each task, the problems most often encountered, and it suggests a variety of remedies ** it aids the trainer in using psychological principles, by giving descriptions and explanations ** it emphasizes the general components of training which can readily be applied to specific situations in the various branches of the sport of working dogs ** it stresses and explains playful instruction of the young dog ** it introduces fun activities / games for individuals and groups of canines ** it addresses and solves common dog behavior problems which even animal behavior specialists struggle to decipher. Tracking, obedience and protection work are described in this training manual which has found world-wide recognition. It guides experts and novices, even owners of small dogs, with its combination of practice and theory, technique and technology, experience and common sense. The reader would have to pick bits and pieces from thousands of websites and hundreds of books, DVD's, seminars and lectures on the subject to find what is presented here - and he would still come up short by many miles. We offer this book to the general public to make the man/dog relationship more meaningful, and more enjoyable, for both partners.

How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend, an informal, friendly guide by The Monks of New Skete, is really two books in one: a step-by-step training manual and a philosophical discussion of the spiritual benefits of owning a dog. The Monks, who support their community in upstate New York by breeding and training German shepherds, reveal a profound devotion to all breeds in this detailed guide to every imaginable aspect of dog ownership. They cover it all: naming the puppy, training with eye contact and jingling keys, establishing the best sleeping arrangements, even dealing with pet loneliness. Owners are advised to think of themselves as the dog's alpha figure, to train with praise instead of punishment, and to beware of becoming the dog's maid or doorman. Throughout, the authors reflect on the deep spiritual connection possible between humans and dogs. Generations of dogs have been trained with the bestselling 1978 edition of this book. With this update, the Monks are bound to gain many new fans--happy humans and obedient canines alike. With modesty and generosity, the Monks offer an extensive list of other helpful books about dogs, as well as a useful appendix of American Kennel Club titles and terms. --Judy Fireman For nearly a quarter century, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend has been the standard against which all other dog-training books have been measured. This new, expanded edition, with a fresh new design and new photographs throughout, preserves the best features of the original classic while bringing the book fully up-to-date. The result: the ultimate training manual for a new generation of dog owners - and, of course, for their canine best friends. The Monks of New Skete have achieved international renown as breeders of German shepherds and as outstanding trainers of dogs of all breeds. Their unique approach to canine training, developed and refined over three decades, is based on the philosophy that "understanding is the key to communication, compassion, and communion" with your dog. The importance of honest and effective communication with your dog is underscored throughout this guide, especially in the practical training exercises: a detailed, comprehensive, fully illustrated obedience course through which the monks lead you (and your dog) step-by-step. How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend covers virtually every aspect of living with and caring for your dog, including: Selecting a dog (what breed? male? female? puppy or older dog?) to fit your lifestyle Where to get - and where not to get - a dog Reading a pedigree Training your dog or puppy - when, where, and how The proper use of praise and discipline Feeding, grooming, and ensuring your dog's physical fitness Recognizing and correcting canine behavioral problems The particular challenges of raising a dog where you live - in the city, country, or suburb The proper techniques for complete care of your pet at every stage of his or her life In this new edition, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend has been expanded to encompass the latest equipment (e.g., retractable leashes, "invisible" fences); new trends in training and care (doggy day care, professional dog walkers, etc.); and dozens of new anecdotes and case studies, drawn from the monks' own experience, that bring to life the essential training concepts. In its scope, its clarity, and its authority, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend remains unrivaled as a basic training guide for dog owners. Like no other book, this guide can help you understand and appreciate your dog's nature as well as his or her distinct personality - and in so doing, it can significantly enrich the life you share with your dog.
