This book will help you to achieve the best possible relationship with your dog. It explains the best way to motivate, lead and interact with dogs, and how to simply enjoy the time together. Modern ethology, which has shown us how dogs live naturally and what needs they have, plays a big role. Furthermore, findings from teaching psychology concerning the best training methods for dogs are considered—whether the dog learns something new or if the dog’s behavior has to be corrected. The result is a clear plea for a gentle and positive approach.
