14.99 €
You may already be familiar with the program "Off-Leash Control: Raising a Calm, High-Performing Dog" by dog trainer and agility specialist Leslie McDevitt. Published in Russia in 2016 by Dogfriend Publishers, this book became a bestseller. The exercises it describes are now increasingly used as the basis for training companion and working dogs.
This is the author's second book. It presents the "Off-Leash Control" program, but it is designed for puppies rather than adult dogs. Leslie calls her program "preventative medicine," helping puppies develop good foundational skills and avoid future problems. In the book, you will find: - methods for training emotional control, attention, and relaxation; - methods for training basic skills such as targeting, default behavior, and establishing contact with the owner on cue; - exercises for acclimating to unpleasant and frightening stimuli; - a description of the Premack Principle and its benefits; - tips for organizing training and rest. Each section is supplemented by examples of how to use the described skill in various situations. Throughout the book, the author develops the idea that training and education can only be successful when they are based on a dog's innate abilities. In her classes, Leslie teaches dogs to be curious about new things and enjoy the learning process itself. She helps owners overcome self-doubt and master important skills in handling their dogs. The book is recommended for dog owners and professionals.
