About this listen

America's foremost authorities on dog care and training distill decades of experience in a comprehensive foundational guide for dog owners.

No matter what training method or techniques you use with your dog, the training is unlikely to be optimally successful unless it is predicated on an understanding of the dog's true nature. Dogs need food, water, exercise and play, rest, veterinary care - the basics. But since dogs naturally want to be led, they also need focused and compassionate guidance.

Through abundant stories and case studies, the authors reveal how canine nature manifests itself in various behaviors, some potentially disruptive to domestic accord, and show how in addressing these behaviors you can strengthen the bond with your dog as well as keep the peace.

The promise of this book is that, especially in an ever-accelerating world filled with digital distractions, you can learn from your dog's example how to live in the moment, thereby enriching your life immeasurably.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Not Religiously Enlightened Training

Someone in a FB group recommended this book to me and I was excited to read it, However, I am sad that I listened to it. Society has changed - it used to be ok to spank your kids. But today parents want healthy relationships with their kids- they know better, do better, and don't spank. It used to be ok to use compulsion based methods with dogs. Today, conditioned emotional responses are at the heart of animal training. The author even discounts a leading thinker and expects that the pendulum will somehow swing back to the glory days of compulsion-based training. When animal trainers can choose equally effective, less punitive methods I don't understand why they are reluctant to try new ideas and get so stuck in past ways of being.
