Publisher's Synopsis
PART ONE: The Dog New to dog training or hope your next dog is better behaved? Part One explains why dogs behave as they do and why their training needs to reflect their innate language for a dog to understand what is expected of him (or her). PART TWO: The Training Part Two covers ten training stages which develop the dog to an advanced level in his first year of training. As his trainer, you'll plan and track which exercises to work on to progress through all ten stages. With training he understands, your dog (whatever breed or gender) will be a joy to have around.
