THE LOVE THAT DOG TRAINING PROGRAM: USING POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TO TRAIN THE PERFECT FAMILY DOG

Book ID/图书代码： 14560010B37344

English Summary/英文概要： Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz is a very special trainer. She knows dogs instinctively, and, drawing on lessons she learned from raising three children, she uses the power of positive reinforcement and bonding to train dogs to be joyful, obedient, and devoted members of a family. Dog lovers throughout the Washington, D.C., area know her: She trained each of the late Senator Ted Kennedy’s dogs, and when the Obama family were deciding on a puppy—and could have chosen any trainer in the world to work with—it was Ms. Sylvia-Stasiewicz who trained Bo.

In Love That Dog!, a lively, accessible, authoritative book, she shares her invaluable and proven program. Her method is based on positive reinforcement. She believes in trust and treats, not choke collars; in bonding, not squeezing or hitting. Her dogs are happy and self-confident, spirited yet very well-behaved. The basic program is five weeks, it takes only 15 or 20 minutes a day, and it works for both puppies and dogs, including retraining a dog with bad habits. Illustrated with stepby-step photographs, Love That Dog! covers hand-feeding. Crate training and potty training. Simple commands—sit,stay, come here—as well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct common behavioral problems including jumping, barking, noise phobias, hiding, and more. Then: how to make your dog comfortable in the world—a dog that travels well, knows how to behave in a dog park or vet’s office, is comfortable around strangers, and more. As the author points out, dog training never ends, it just gets easier—and even more rewarding.
