Raise a great family dog

This book is for the pet owner who wants to raise the great, lifelong, family dog. It covers what you need to know including teaching good manners (covers extended stays), training handy skills and useful tricks (like picking up items), teaching you and your dog and to be safe and polite around other people and kids, and creating the right environment. In the introductory chapters you get a solid introduction to clicker training and a fast-start approach.

* Sit to greet people instead of jumping up

* Walk on a leash without pulling

* Come when called, even outdoors

* Stay home alone quietly

About the Author:

Peggy Larson Tillman created and wrote Clicking With Your Dog for her dog training classes. She realized her students needed a clearly written and illustrated book to help them learn and share the fun of clicker training.
 

Peggy Tillman has a teaching credential and a behavioral psychology degree and worked for many years as an elementary school teacher. She found that clicker training fits exactly with her concept of how children should be treated --- fairly, and with lots of opportunities to succeed. Peggy went on to teach classes to pet owners, and in the process designed, wrote, and illustrated this visual instruction book.
Peggy drew on her knowledge of making designs user-friendly to make her book fun and easy to use. Peggy helped design systems, machines, and environments so they are easy for people to use. She has written two leading human factors/ergonomic books published by McGraw-Hill.
