Most dog training books are packed with information but in reality, it’s often far too much, far too detailed and pretty overwhelming. The average dog owner doesn’t want to be a dog trainer; they just want to have a dog that doesn’t behave like a complete idiot every time they leave the house. This book provides you with a simple and achievable blue-print for easier walks with your dog. It’s a quick and easy read that’s straight to the point so you can be on your way to a better-behaved dog without weeks of reading and note-taking.
