The Pearsall
Guide to Successful Dog Training : Obedience 'from the Dog's Point of View'
by Milo Pearsall
This book is a classic! The Pearsalls pioneered positive motivation
methods in dog training during a time when more forceful techniques were the norm.
Believers in the capabilities of puppies to learn at an early age, they developed the
concept of "puppy kindergarten". This book is in its third edition and is
every bit as useful and valid today as it was when it was first published. One of
our personal favorites. |
