Aprašymas

Dogs love to play, yet in training, humans can overlook its value and importance. The Joy of Playing with Your Dog reveals how playing can be developed into an invaluable tool to support behavioral development, obedience, and strong bonds. For example, Fetch—the most basic of games—taps into a dog’s prey drive in a healthy manner. It encourages interaction and reinforces commands like come and drop it. A good game puts the owner in control, while the dog follows the rules. Activities like Red Light, Green Light and Go Find will entertain and delight all involved, but also help with impulse control, developing an “off-switch,” and responding to vocal commands. Tricks like Speak can solve excessive barking. These lessons all lead to better dog-to-dog relationships, a topic important to dog owners. Featuring full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions, this is a valuable addition to the dog-training bookshelf.
