Every dog deserves to develop to its potential, and that is the philosophy and purpose behind this book. Based on how a dog's mind works and calm, non-emotional methods, the author explains the whys and wherefores of dog training, describing what the ideal training class should be like, gives a 20 week programme for training a new puppy, and deals with behavioural problems. He shows that the basic commands can be taught simply, easily and without fuss and that even the most complicated command can be taught by simple progression.
