Published in association with The Blue Cross, one of Britain's top animal welfare societies, this handbook is for all responsible dog owners. It contains numerous step-by-step photographs that will help to make training your dog easy and fun. Gwen Bailey believes that the first step to having a well-behaved dog is for the owner to fully understand the dog's behaviour - only then can you learn to communicate effectively with your pet and create a successful partnership. She maintains that all dogs can be well-behaved and that you can teach an old dog new tricks! You can learn about: how to be a good owner; talking and listening to your dog; essential ingredients for a well-behaved dog; step-by-step obedience exercises; preventing and solving problem behaviour; how to make your dog really clever.
