The Monks of New Skete, longtime breeders of German shepherds and
renowned dog trainers of all breeds, have codeveloped a new training
technique. In this book, the monks and Marc Goldberg, who pioneered the
approach, offer a leap into the future using a game-changing tool: the
remote electronic collar. The Art of Training Your Dog presents their
compassionate and efficient system for the first time, with background
and advice on choosing the right collar.
Using a light touch--one that many humans can't even feel--at just the
right moment, helps to focus a dog's attention. The authors help you
create effortless teaching moments that tie into your dog's natural pack
instincts and help strengthen the bond with your dog.
In as little as just 6 weeks, most pups will master skills like great
leash manners; obey commands such as "sit", "down", "stay", and "place";
stop troublesome behaviors; and play safely off-leash with consistent
recall.
