With the most up-to-date science of dog behavior from one of the leading veterinary behaviorists in the country, TFH Publications is introducing the revised and expanded edition of How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves ($19.95; ISBN: 978-0-7938-0644-7). A bestseller after its first release, this new edition provides additional training advice so pet parents can better understand what makes their dogs tick and learn about the latest insights for improving canine behavior through all-positive training concepts.
The user-friendly, full-color instructional drawings enhance the informative text in this easy-to-read edition. Good behavior and problem solving exercises are broken down into “5 Minute” sections, while “Spot” quizzes throughout the text help reinforce your grasp of the material. Science-based methods for observing, understanding, and modifying behavior are applied to everyday situations, offering numerous examples of how training exercises can be turned into fun games for both dogs and pet parents.
