For most dog owners, a dog isn't just a pet but a beloved family member. That's why two internationally known parenting experts have teamed up with an acclaimed animal behaviourist to produce "Pup Parenting". This one-of-a-kind guide - which takes effective child-rearing methods and modifies them to work with the canine set - represents an exciting breakthrough in dog discipline. "Pup Parenting": helps people choose a breed that fits their family; provides a simple test to assess a pup's personality; and presents an easy 5-step plan to bring straying behaviour problems smartly to heel. With a firm, positive approach that rejects both the alpha discipline method and the overindulgent reward-based system, "Pup Parenting" is a companion readers can refer to throughout all doggie life stages.
