Unleashing the trainer in you
One of the key elements in
Before & After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy &
Well-Behaved Dog is embedded in its title. There is much
to consider before bringing a new pet into a household, and this book helps you make an informed decision.
Dr. Ian Dunbar guides you through the fast-paced puppy training process, providing developmental deadlines to
mark your progress. Errorless Housetraining and Chewtoy-Training, for example, should begin the day your puppy
comes home, and Bite Inhibition by 18 weeks.
Rover, Don't Roll Over: A Compassionate Training Guide for Dogs and
Their People is written in a more whimsical, lighthearted
vein. Jody Rosengarten, a dog trainer and behavior therapist, favors a gentle approach to training, but still offers
a results-driven strategy. Rosengarten believes in the power of positive training and says it's possible to respect
and honor the individuality of each dog while training it with compassion and joy.
