Product Description

Product Description

"I′m a dog fanatic, read everything I can find on dog behavior, and this book is terrific! It was a great reminder of all those other times I can be naturally shaping my two dogs′ behavior without their even knowing they′re behaving perfectly. The illustrations are fun and funny. And the methods are clearly spelled out — how to do them, why they work, how they make the doggie–human bond a more loving one." — Amy Tan, author of  The Joy Luck Club, The Hundred Secret Senses and The Kitchen God′s Wife

"Andrea Arden is to be congratulated on this wonderful book on dog training (and I′m sure that dogs everywhere would agree). Her approach is humane, user–friendly, dog–friendly and guaranteed to produce the desired results. A must–read for owners." — Dr. Nicholas Dodman, author of The Dog Who Loved Too Much and Dogs Behaving Badly

"Dog–Friendly Dog Training will make you your dog′s best friend. Use Andrea′s training methods and you′ll soon find your dog wanting to work for you. It provides easily understood information on dog training with a strong emphasis on the positive. She makes training so simple that a child can easily train the family pet. If dogs carried cash, I guarantee you they′d be buying copies for the humans they live with." —Wayne Hunthausen, DVM, director of Animal Behavior Consultations. Co–author of  The Handbook of Behavior Problems of the Dog and Cat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mainly for puppies, but don't be put off., 24 Oct 2002
By A Customer
During my recent adoption of 2 rescue dogs I was searching for some good dog books to help me prepare. Unfortunately I didn't find this until after they came to my home, but it's still becoming very useful to me.

This book is written in a very user-friendly way with superb illustration throughout, making it very easy for everyone to read (thankfully not just page after page of writing!). It has simple step-by-step instructions on each stage of training & tells you about the different types of training (lure/reward, reward, & physical prompting) with the advantages/disadvantages & appropriateness of each. It also tells you what not to do to bring out or encourage bad/inappropriate behaviour in your dogs, and why dogs behave in certain ways to situations they may find themselves in.

On the down side, it does concentrate very much on training a dog from the stage of a young puppy which is a shame since so many people now are getting older rescue dogs that may have behavioural/training problems. Plus it only concentrates on having to train one dog at a time (unfortunate as I rescued 2 dogs at the same time).

Don't let this put you off totally though, as it also thoroughly emphasises increasing the dog-human bond, which in all ways (training included) can only be a good thing.
