Collins dog training handbook - Stella Smyth

This practical handbook is based on the authors' successful 10-week training course. Learn all the aspects of dog training by following the clear step-by-step photographs and instructions. By the end of the course even the most unruly of dogs will be transformed into a happy and obedient companion.

All dogs are better and happier with proper training, as are their owners. The book is firmly based on the authors' 10-week training course, and builds up dog and trainer confidence step-by-step as each week progresses.

The reader is taken through all aspects of dog training, with specially commissioned, clear step-by-step photographs. Each step is simply explained and throughout there are useful checklists.

The Collins Dog Training Handbook will transform a lead-pulling, disobedient dog into a happy, obedient companion and not leave the owner exhausted. In fact, throughout the book the emphasis is on making the training both fun and easy to do.
