Dr. McConnell added new information about the benefits of positive reinforcement AND the importance of realistic expectations. For instance, "sit" while waiting for the food bowl is NOT equivalent to "sit" when company comes to the door! While it's almost twice the size of the original, the book is still easy to read, user-friendly and priced right for trainers and dog owners. It's the perfect guide for positive-based training classes or for new dog owners flying solo!

Here's what you can look forward to learning with your puppy:
How to make training fun for BOTH you and your puppy
How to teach basic cues including Sit, Down, Come, Heel, Stay
Simple steps for house and crate training
How to use positive reinforcement without spoiling your puppy
What to do when adolescence strikes!
