Easy, positive solutions that deliver long-lasting results for the
most common dog challenges
Whether helping a new puppy adjust or working with a dog who's been a
member of the household for years, the need for dog training advice is
constant. For dog lovers seeking positive solutions to persistent
behavior problems, veteran dog trainer Victoria Schade provides fresh,
innovative answers in her latest book, Secrets of a Dog Trainer.
Approaching common dog training problems from a trainer's point of view,
Schade helps readers understand how minor problems can become major ones
if treated incorrectly. She illustrates each behavioral challenge with a
case study, then provides several '"choose-your-own-ending"'
possibilities as to how the behavior might develop without proper
intervention. She then shares the positive training alternatives. When
executed properly, Schade's solutions provide predictable, positive
outcomes--and happy, better-behaved dogs.
From an approachable perspective, Schade delivers a valuable,
solutions-oriented resource for even the newest dog trainers.
Heartwarming and engaging stories about her clients' dogs are also woven
in, making it both informative and lively.

jumping up, barking, running away, stealing household items, and leash
aggression
