Expert Obedience Training for Dogs

Autor Winifred Gibson Strickland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2003
First published in the 1960s, Winifred Strickland's guide has helped generations of dog owners succeed with obedience training. Now updated to reflect changes in AKC obedience regulations since the last edition was published in 1988, the book presents a commonsense, no-gimmicks approach to training. It covers all aspects of obedience, from housebreaking a puppy to handling a dog in competition, and offers detailed guidance on each level of the AKC Obedience Trials-Novice, Open, and Utility-as well as Tracking. Complete with helpful training tips, answers to frequently asked questions, and 150 photographs, this is a resource for everyone involved in obedience training-students, competitors, and instructors.
