Synopsis

Breaking Bad Habits in Dogs begins by reviewing the fundamentals of canine psychology--how dogs understand and communicate, and how many of their instincts differ from our own. The author then instructs readers on using vocal and hand signals to teach basic commands, such as "sit" and "stay." The largest part of this reader-friendly book focuses on humane methods for breaking bad canine habits through careful and consistent training. The problems and their solutions include--

Dealing with a dominant dog in the home

House training and paper training

Excessive barking or attention-seeking

Aggressive behavior

Destructive behavior

Jumping up on visitors

Stealing food and scavenging . . . and much more <>
Also discussed are the best way to introduce a new dog into the family, how to deal with a dog's phobias, and how to prevent a dog from digging up the yard. The book features instructive sidebar features and color photos on every page.
