The Dog Behavior Problem Solver, 2nd Edition  (English, Paperback, Anderson Teoti)

Life with a dog can bring companionship, fun, and joy. Life with a badly behaved dog can bring frustration and heartbreak. Dog behavior problems are often cited as the main reason for owners' abandoning their pets to shelters and surrendering them to rescues, but many of a dog's problems can be resolved by a caring and responsible owner who's willing to devote a little time to positive dog training. In this book, seasoned trainer Teoti Anderson shares her knowledge and experience with dog owners, offering insight into why dogs do what they do while showing owners how to implement cruelty-free, reward-based training with their dogs in clear, easy-to-follow steps. This newly updated edition provides additional information on step-by-step training exercises and problem behavior techniques, new advice referencing recent position statements from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior regarding puppy socialization and positive training, and a new training section on Name Recognition/Response.
