Beyond Basic Dog Training: New

by Diane L. Bauman

Beyond Basic Dog Training has, since its initial publication, achieved well-deserved recognition as an innovative guide to obedience instruction that is truly unique among books on the subject. Beyond Basic Dog Training makes a vital difference for those who read and use it and for dogs taught by it. This book shows how dogs learn, what they do with what they learn, and how a stimulated canine mind, along with an untrampled canine ego, makes for a dog that is a constant joy to live and work with. The new edition presents the most current knowledge on canine learning patterns, and provides updated American Kennel Club obedience trial regulations, greatly expanded since the first edition appeared. The instruction in Beyond Basic Dog Training is behind Gaines "Superdogs," numerous obedience trial champions, and a host of canine successes. This is the book of choice for informed obedience fans. It can do for you and your dog what it has done for them and theirs.

I’m not looking to show my dog in competitions, I’m simply looking to train my puppy to be obedient and this book has made all the difference. I appreciated the author’s simple, matter of fact explanations, humor, and humility. All that she has suggested has proven effective for me and my puppy. I got this book from Goodwill when I was desperate for guidance. Truly grateful for my positive fate in learning from this expert.

Very archaic training methods-including throwing chains at dogs to scare them into maintaining a stay or wrapping their snout with a rubber band-and snapping is if necessary - to teach them not to whine.

There are so many better ways to train these days.

This book (and workshops with the author) is the reason I went from co
Prying in AKC obedience trials to being competitive and winning!
