Dog Talk: Training Your Dog Through a Canine Point of View
Dog Talk Training Your Dog Through a Canine Point of View Author:John Ross, Barbara McKinney The only dog-training book that really gets through to the canine brain beneath all that fur.Incorporating the revolutionary teaching of John Ross's prominent dog-training school, this is the first and only dog-training book that truly takes owners inside the canine mind. Central to Ross's technique is the notion that a dog responds to its owner... more » as the pack leader, and that this leader must take the dominant role in the relationship between human and dog. By encouraging owners to act in a canine manner, Ross emphasizes sure-fire techniques to help dogs through the behaviors they need to learn. Among the hundreds of useful training tips included in Dog Talk are:* Always use your dog's name prior to the command: "Bentley, heel!"* When training a puppy, try moving a desired object like a dog biscuit over and behind your dog's head to induce him to "sit."* Do not use your dog's name-- which he associates with being called toward you-- when commanding him to "stay."* Don't yell "Come!" in a threatening manner while chasing after a disobedient puppy or you may well have just trained him to run away on command.* Giving a "No" command while your dog is thinking about a bad behavior is even more effective than giving it during the behavior.« less
