Secrets of a Dog Trainer
A how-to guide for addressing typical canine challenges, using a science-backed, positive reinforcement training approach.
For dog lovers seeking positive solutions to persistent behavior problems, veteran dog trainer Victoria Schade provides fresh, innovative answers in her latest book, Secrets of a Dog Trainer.
Approaching common dog training problems from a trainer's point of view, Schade helps readers understand how minor problems can become major ones if treated incorrectly. She illustrates each behavioral challenge with a case study, then provides several '“choose-your-own-ending”' possibilities as to how the behavior might develop without proper intervention. She then shares the positive training alternatives. When executed properly, Schade’s solutions provide predictable, positive outcomes—and happy, better-behaved dogs.
