| Summary |
In this problem-based guide, dog trainer Zak George makes it easy to look up and solve the exact behavioral issue that you're struggling with-whether you’re dealing with a new puppy, an adult dog you’ve had for years, or a recently adopted rescue. He also helps you prevent many of these problems from becoming established in the first place. Delving deeply into why dogs do what they do and how to work through any problems that might arise, Zak proves that it's never too late to correct behavioral issues. In this book, he shares his compassionate, modern, science-based approach that has worked with the thousands of dogs he’s trained throughout his career. |
