Paul Loeb; Suzanne Hlavacek SMARTER THAN YOU THINK: A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO TEACHING AND UNDERSTANDING YOUR DOG IN JUST A FEW HOURS
Atria 1997-03-01 0671001728 / 9780671001728 First Edition Hardcover Very Good + Dust Jacket: Very Good + Hardcover
This first edition hardcover book was published in 1997 by Pocket Books with 271 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is tight. The signature book plate of Mr. Francis Fretwell is attached to the front paste down. The bottom rear corner is bumped. This anecdotal book provides a new system for educating dogs and teaches readers how to train their dogs by understanding the psychology behind why the author's methods work. Stressing common sense and rejecting the use of one-word commands are two of the major approaches of this system. The third technique involves the "Magic Touch," the ability to always reach a dog by tossing something at her (to which she should respond by coming to the thrower). Loeb discusses these tactics and demonstrates how to apply them to basic lessons, such as housebreaking dogs and teaching them to sit, as well as to behavior problems and bad habits. The chapter on canine diet and nutrition is well thought out, but the reader may want to check the information with a veterinarian before changing a pet's rations. Despite occasional cutesy language ("boy dog"), the author's valuable training ideas will round out the library's dog-training collection. Nancy Bent
