About this title

Synopsis

Experienced animal behaviorists Nancy Baer and Steve Duno demonstrate that dogs, like their wolf cousins, are essentially pack animals and need to establish dominance. In this practical, straightforward training book you will learn how to take a firm lead and the specific steps required to eliminate the aggressive attitude of your dog. No matter what kind of dog you have, the real life examples and simple, nonconfrontational exercises in Leader of the Pack will help both of you live happily ever after. Discover how to take charge; why treating your dog as an equal can get both of you in trouble; why hitting your dog is futile; what are the right and wrong ways to walk your dog; how to initiate behavior and give only earned praise; how to selectively limit the dog's freedom of movement; how to feed a food-aggressive dog; how to prevent your dog from jumping up, leaning, or stepping on your feet; and much more!
