Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Teach your dog the everyday basics, then a whole repertoire of tricks, in short sessions that fit into any day.This beginner-friendly guide starts where every good trainer starts: with how dogs actually learn. You will charge a marker word, learn to time your rewards, and run a five-minute session with a clear beginning, middle and end. Then the book walks you through eight foundation skills that make daily life easier: sit, down, stay, coming when called, walking on a loose leash, wait, leave it and an attention signal.After that come 50 numbered trick lessons in four levels: - 10 easy tricks for the first week, such as Touch, Spin and Shake- 15 intermediate tricks, including Roll Over, Play Dead, Crawl and Leg Weave- 15 advanced tricks and trick chains, from Ring a Bell to a full five- trick routine- 10 tricks for indoors on rainy days, from Peekaboo to Laundry HelperEvery lesson follows the same clear layout: the cue, the level, how long to plan for, what it builds on, numbered steps, how to make the skill solid, and two quick fixes for the moment it stalls. Chapters on brain games, troubleshooting and a quick-reference table of all 50 lessons round it off.Rewards only, no force. Every method in this book uses positive reinforcement. Nothing relies on pain, fear or intimidation, and the book says plainly where it stops: aggression, fear or anxiety belong with a qualified veterinarian or certified behaviorist.Ideal for first-time owners, families with a new puppy or rescue, and anyone who wants a well- mannered dog that is also fun to be around.
