Dog Zen

Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Dog

by Mark Vette

World-renowned dog behaviourist and psychologist Mark Vette (of Driving Dogs and Flying Dogs fame) shows you how to transform your dog and create a harmonious life-long bond.
This book looks at how the dog evolved from the wolf, and the ancient co-evolved bond that exists between humans and dogs, before explaining how to get your dog into a fundamental calm 'learning state' so you can encourage the behaviours you want from your pet.
Mark then explains how to train your new puppy, and if you have an older dog that wasn't trained properly at that crucial early stage, how to correct each of the top ten behavioural problems that occur. Drawing from Mark's own life and experiences there are case studies throughout with beautiful photographs of these amazing animals.
The top ten problems are-
1. Hyperactivity
2. Phobias
3. Excessive submission
4. Dog-to-dog aggression
5. Dog-to-human aggression
6. Barking
7. Separation distress
8. House training
9. Destructive behaviours
10.Recall

This book is absolutely packed with information. It is a comprehensive practical guide combining the latest cognitive science with modern, loving, training techniques.
