Fido, Come: Training Your Dog with Love and Understanding

The bond that people have with dogs is a strong one. Researchers have proven that pet owners have a more positive outlook on life, are healthier & recover from illness faster than people who do not own pets. Unfortunately, the relationship between a dog & its owner can go awry when the dog is out of control & the owner doesn't know how to train the dog. "FIDO, COME!" TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH LOVE & UNDERSTANDING begins with an overview of the relationship between people & domesticated dogs & the history of dog training. The book explains how dogs learn, the various factors that effect learning & how dog owners can have fun while training their dogs effectively & humanely. The book explains how to set up household rules, how to teach the foundation commands & advanced training, explains obedience competition & demonstrates some practical applications for the various training excercises. The author, a dog obedience instructor since the early seventies, uses a step-by-step method of training based on rewarding the positive. This method produced stress-free training sessions, a happy dog & an even happier owner.Palika, Liz is the author of 'Fido, Come: Training Your Dog with Love and Understanding' with ISBN 9780944875292 and ISBN 0944875297.
