A practical and comprehensive guide for every family with a dog. Canine psychology and home dog training experts Ray and Emma Lincoln wrote The Cure for Useless Dog Syndrome to help "real" people overcome challenges bonding with their dogs in today’s hectic world. Don't despair! Our dogs can easily become the joyous part of our lives they were meant to be with the hundreds of innovative games, mental tasks, activities and exercises in this lovingly written reference. The Cure details responsible, realistic and enjoyable ideas for every dog, every owner and every day. Includes activities specifically designed for: Puppies, Dogs with Physical Challenges and Behavior Problems, Active Dogs, Toy Breeds, Multi-dog Households; Families with Kids, Senior and Disabled Owners and Indoor Settings.
Throughout the book, readers will also learn to gently shape their dogs' behavior, and you may recognize yourself in some of the amusing games dogs like to play on their owners or even some of the dangerous games you should never play with your dog.
No More Useless Dogs! ~Even if you're not an athlete ~ Even if you live in a condo ~Even if your dog's an 8 wk old puppy, or an 8 yr- old couch potato ~Even if you or your dog have physical challenges ~Even if you're a busy parent ~Even if your dog's "spoiled' or "neurotic".
Not just another "trick book", training book or picture book, The Cure could save your family thousands with many novel ideas and information you won't find anywhere else, including the truth about some common activities that create behavior problems and endanger dogs.
The Cure is different from many other training and activity books:
1.) Only gentle, positive training methods based on canine psychology- no harsh methods ! 2.) Many activities for small-breed dogs and dogs with every different body type 3.) All instructions without clickers (but could easily adapt for clicker use) 4.) Customer-tested activities promote great housemanners without crating for dogs to truly live as members of their families and never behind bars. 5) Heartfelt chapter introductions speak to some of the biggest concerns of dog owners today. 6) Over 200 individual activities geared to every dog and situation, plus hundreds more variations are more than just fun. The particular activities are selected to help owners shape each dog into the best he can be through the stages and challenges of his lifetime. 7.) Although The Cure is an in-depth reference, it's also quick and easy to navigate to try just one activity at a time. (Chapters are broken down according to your dogs' and family’s needs, and you can click on any game from the table of contents to go right to it.)
