dog training advice

An exclusive  new dog training book, “Dog Training 4 Life”, has recently been published online.  It is an excellent training resource for people who would like to benefit from the author, Anne Pottinger's wealth of experience with dogs. She has trained not only puppies, but also older dogs, including many discards rescued from shelters. In fact her wealth of knowledge stems from more than thirty years working with dogs.

Before moving to the United States, Anne began training dogs in England under the supervision and guidance of the late, great Barbara Woodhouse, then a renowned coach, who also published several bestselling books on the subject and syndicated television shows around the world.

Dogs love to please, it means that your praise of all. Unfortunately too many owners never think to praise and reward good behavior, but is based on negative reinforcement and punishment of wrongdoing. Dog Training 4 Life is structured entirely on positive reinforcement coupled with consistency.
