The new, updated edition of this popular manual discusses the do's and don'ts of canine training, emphasizing methods that keep both dog and master happy members of a single household. Readers are coached on achieving humane but effective housebreaking, teaching a puppy to come when called, training the dog to walk on a leash, and to avoid fighting with other dogs. The author also instructs owners on teaching a puppy to accept bathing and grooming routines, behave when traveling in a car, and adhere to regular feeding habits. Prospective dog owners will also find valuable advice on prudent selection of a new puppy, with focus on acquiring a breed that best fits individual human personality types and family routines. The author's general approach to puppy training emphasizes teaching a dog good habits and breaking the bad ones without breaking the puppy's spirit.
