I raised two dogs using techniques from this book (including one that came to me at two years old ! ). I have never had to raise a hand to them and people constantly comment on how they obey my voice. This is the one book I recommed to all new owners of dogs. A great investment !

Big suprise, dogs know that we aren’t dogs. The gig is up, dogs don’t relate to us the way they relate to dogs. Get a book that really teaches you how dogs think and learn.
