As you walk your dog, other people turn to watch. You hear comments such as “I wish my dog could do that.” Or “Hey, who trained your dog?” Your dog is drawing attention because of her impeccable leash manners. This book was written to help you develop that kind of dog.
I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) as well as a Certified Pet Dog Trainer - Knowledge and Skills Assessed (CPDT-KSA).
Trainers I follow include Julie Flanery, Hannah Branigan, Michele Pouliot, Susan Garrett, and Ken Ramirez. They are some of the top trainers in the dog training community.
More than one hundred pictures and descriptions show you how to teach the following:
- Loose-leash walking
- Position – where the dog should be
- How to retrain a dog who pulls
- Changing sides
- Navigating stairs safely
- How to easily unwrap the leash from the dog's leg
Other important things to know:
- Cues, markers, and reinforcement
- Reward zone
- Release words
- When to fade treats
- Learning to learn
- Canine brain development
And so much more!
