Four in ten households in the United Kingdom own at least one dog and would like it to be well-behaved and trained to a reasonable standard. Whether you need to correct bad behaviour in an older dog or train a puppy to be obedient from day one, this book offers step-by-step instructions on how to understand your dog, how to use commands and rewards and what to do about behavioural problems. The text includes an introduction to the principles of dog training and looks at different aspects of training throughout the life of a dog. Issues covered include collar and leash training, socializing, toilet training, name response, sit, stay, lie down and roll over and road safety. There is also a section on correcting common problems such as climbing on the furniture, aggressive behaviour and begging and fussy eating.
