This is the ultimate dog training guide, professional dog trainer Panos Anagnostou offers more than the basics of dog training. He teaches loving owners how to treat their dogs like respected members of the family while also instilling in them the core behaviours necessary to be successful at home and out in the world.
Dog training. If we want our dogs — our favourite four-legged companions — to thrive and be happy members of our family, training is necessary. Without it, a dog will rely solely on instinct, which is not a good fit for a civilized environment. Just as we obey rules within our society to keep life running more smoothly and expectations met, our dogs need rules and guidance, too.
In this in-depth guide you’ll learn:
How to develop a training language your dog will understand.
The theory behind dog behaviour and why they do what they do.
The necessary steps to build a strong foundation.
The three stages of obedience training.
How your mindset can impact your dog’s training success and their behaviour.
Foundational commands and how to build upon them.
Troubleshooting behavioural issues.
Manners, management, and socialisation.
