About the Book

Dogs make wonderful pets, offering loyalty and affection as well as endearing personalities and intelligence, but an unruly dog can cause havoc in homes and lives. The secret to living harmoniously with your canine companion is proper training, and this book covers all the basic principles that a first-time owner needs to know. Living with a dog is not just a privilege but also a significant responsibility that should never be taken lightly, and this book begins with a guide to responsible dog ownership - from neutering and spaying through to choosing a breed that is appropriate for your lifestyle. A guide to equipment gives an overview of the collars, harnesses, leads, crates, bedding, food bowls, brushes, combs, treat bags and toys that are available. There are also hints and tips on general dog care, including dietary advice and recipes for homemade treats. Owners are guided through the process of welcoming a new puppy into the home and beginning his training and socialization. Step-by-step instructions explain techniques such as house-training, playing tug-of-war and teaching your puppy his name. This is followed by the most important commands, including 'sit', 'down', 'leave it', 'stay', 'wait' and 'settle down', as well as walking nicely on a lead, coming back when called, and sitting quietly when visitors call. The book also covers the most common problems that can occur, with solutions for correcting these. From biting, digging and barking to stealing food, jumping on the sofa and attention-seeking behaviour, the book shows how to get the best results without the need for punitive methods. With over 330 photographs focusing on making training easy and fun, this book is a highly accessible guide that responsible dog owners cannot afford to be without.

About the Author :
Patsy Parry has been training puppies and their owners since the early 1990s. She holds a Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour and Training, and heads the education committee for the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Patsy started Able Trainers in 1996 because of the lack of reward-based training clubs in her area. Hundreds of dogs have since passed through her doors, learning fun, reward-based training methods, and becoming confident, easy to live with and a pleasure to own. She has written a book entitled Puppies' Problems (Exposure Publishing), chapters in Teach Yourself Dog Training (Hodder Headline) and The Active Dog (Pet Book Publishers), as well as many articles for dog training magazines.
