Develop the tools and understanding you need to be the best trainer for your new puppy or adult dog-it's never too early or late to start!
Professional dog trainer Kate Perry has seen it all- the secret pee-ers, the delivery-man harassers, the skittish wallflowers, the zippy puppy, the pulling sled dog, the barking door dashers, and the withdrawing senior. If any of these remind you of your dog-or you fear your pup is on their way to developing a behavioral challenge-let Kate help you create a balanced training program that will yield positive results for you and your pooch.
Kate's layered methodology includes an easy-to-take Canine Drive Survey, the same one she provides to her clients, enabling you to identify your dog's particular set of drives, behavioral traits, and needs. Next, she develops a personalized training program for you and your pooch that blends together your lifestyle and household setup and your dog's unique "canine-ality" to create an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect, and understanding. Kate's goal is to turn you into the best trainer for your dog, using simple commands with step-by-step instructions that cover all the essential training categories- housetraining, socialization, leash walking, exercise, and dealing with anxiety. Each chapter contains personal stories and photos pulled from Kate's client files including Professor Sophie, Kate's well-trained pug, who also offers her own brand of authentic nose-nudging advice and tips and has helped teach over 2000 pups in the group classes.
Whether you're looking for advice for your current canine companion or welcoming a new puppy into your home, Training for Both Ends of the Leash will help you create a happy and healthy relationship that will last a lifetime.
