Product Description
This forward-looking training book provides an accessible, positive reinforcement training method to replace the obedience methods of the past.
Training is essential for dogs to live peacefully and happily among humans. If you're a dog owner who seeks to build trust rather than establish dominance, you'll appreciate this approach to training that emphasizes listening, observing, relaxation, self-help, change, and games. Chapters cover lifestyle management, body language and attitude, socialization, housetraining, nutrition and exercise, grooming for health and self-esteem, creativity and games, and other important lessons.

It's a way of finding out what really turns you on, making your canine companion happier and more responsive and, lo and behold, changing everything in your life for the better.

Great Reading and Learning,
By Michael Budge (Tyngsboro, Ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Train Your Dog, Change Your Life: An Interactive Training Program For Individuals, Families, and Their Dogs (Hardcover)
This book was very informative, easy to read with associating pictures. I especially liked how chapters 6 through 11 were broken into lesson plans (e.g.) Chapter Six, Lesson Plan:Week #1. Chapter 3, Recognizing Canine Calming Signals was very interesting. Twelve calming signals were introduced by the author in a manner that was easy to understand. I can see how this chapter is essential for training and observing other canines. I highly recommend this book for training your dog. No canine owner should be without it.

Great info for abused dogs.,
By Dyan Cahill (E. Kingston: N.H. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Train Your Dog, Change Your Life: An Interactive Training Program For Individuals, Families, and Their Dogs (Hardcover)
I was given a 5month old German Shepard that had been abused verbally, and physically, no socializing, no housbreaking nothing.I purchased this book and started reading every part of it, I was determined to make this dog a good dog. It worked, everyone that knows my dog Ranger cannot believe the progress that was made with him. This book helps you think the way the dog thinks and is very helpful from that point of view. I would recommend this book for anyone who ownes a dog-----especially a puppy!!!!!! Thank you Moe & Gary Ross awesome job.
