Description
The author focuses on verbally cuing and creatively luring to achieve desirable behavior in dogs, as well as using sniffing, walking, play, and interactive games to reinforce speedy compliance and good habits from the outset. This book details how other reward-training techniques have strayed from Dunbar's original approach for teaching dogs ESL (English as a second language), in which we verbally cue specific responses, offer praise for success, and give guidance when dogs err. With this method, we can teach dogs when and where to eliminate, what to chew, when and for how long to bark, and when and how to appropriately let off steam.
