It features a program of positive reinforcement and no-fail techniques that author Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz used to train the White House dog, Bo Obama, and each of Senator Ted Kennedy’s dogs, among countless others.\u003ci\u003eTraining the Best Dog Ever \u003c\/i\u003erelies on trust and treats, not choke collars; on bonding, not leash-yanking or reprimanding. The five-week training program takes only 10 to 20 minutes of practice a day and works both for puppies and for adult dogs that need to be trained out of bad habits. Illustrated with step-by-step photographs, the book covers hand-feeding; crate and potty training; and basic cues—\u003ci\u003esit, stay, come here\u003c\/i\u003e—as well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct typical behavior problems, including jumping, barking, and leash-pulling. Plus: how to make your dog comfortable in the world—a dog that knows how to behave in a vet’s office, is at ease around strangers, and more. In other words, the best dog ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010770682096,"sku":"9780761168850","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780761168850_p0.jpg?v=1772576776","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780761168850","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
