New to dog training or hope your next dog is better behaved? Part One explains why dogs behave as they do and why their training needs to reflect their innate language for a dog to understand what is expected of him (or her).

Part Two covers ten training stages which develop the dog to an advanced level in his first year of training. Practicing and mastering each exercise is rewarding and effective, and your dog will learn how to behave wherever you go. As his trainer, you’ll plan and track which exercises to work on to progress through all ten stages. With training he understands, your dog (whatever breed or gender) will be a joy to have around. KATH RAYSON HAS TRAINED MORE THAN 300 DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS. HER HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TRAINING METHODS AND WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE WILL HELP YOU TO HAVE BEAUTIFULLY TRAINED (AND MUCH ADMIRED) DOGS TOO.

Author Biography

Having a great love of animals and of course dogs in particular, I have spent the last 35 years working as a dog trainer. During my lifetime, I have had ten dogs of my own; however, I have also trained over 300 owners and their dogs. Along the way I have gained a huge amount of experience in what works and what doesn’t and it is this experience that is at the heart of this book. My training method establishes a way of communicating with your dog so that he knows what is expected of him and so that he feels safe with you. With such training, he will return to you when you want him to and he will walk by your side without straining on his leash. My dogs are much admired when I am out and about with them! I enjoy explaining how and why they have been trained in the way that I train them. I wish you every success in learning how to train your dog so that he too is a joy to have around.
