Synopsis

Whether you are an experienced dog show aficionado or an owner simply looking to have a well-trained dog, Click Your Way to the Canine Good Citizen is the book for you. Clicker training is a fun, low-stress way to teach your dog life skills needed to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. Clicker training cultivates enthusiastic canine learners, and strengthens your bond with your dog. This book explains the clicker training process in detail, and clearly demonstrates how it is used to teach the skills needed to pass each of the ten elements of the Canine Good Citizen test. Additional skills such as socialization and ignoring distractions are also covered. The book culminates with a chapter on putting you and your dog’s newly-learned skills into action by explaining how to use them in each step of the test. Dr. Allen’s gentle methods are appropriate for puppies, retried show dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs of all breeds. Even if you have trained dogs before, this book will teach you to become a smarter, more understanding dog trainer.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Regina R. Allen DVM graduated from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001, and worked in small animal and emergency medicine, and for the United States Department of Agriculture. While in practice, she worked with clients and their pets on behavioral problems, in addition to practicing medicine and surgery. Dr. Allen began teaching puppy classes while still in vet school, utilizing gentle, reward-based training techniques. She founded The Good Shepherd Dog Training in 2011 to fill a need for positive training classes in her local area. Her classes utilize clicker training and shaping with positive reinforcement to teach dogs desirable behaviors and self-control, making owner-dog communications a two-way street. This type of training teaches useful skills both for performance sports and for life. Dr. Allen is also a Certified Dog Trick Instructor, and a Full Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. Dr. Allen breeds Toy Manchester Terriers under the Regal prefix, and shows her dogs in conformation, agility, obedience, rally, tricks, and musical freestyle.
