A revolutionary new training methodβ€”using the easy β€œpurposeful walk”—for a fully trained dog in as little as 6 weeks!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Monks of New Skete, long-time breeders of German shepherds and renowned trainers of all breeds and mixes, have co-developed a successful new training technique. They, alongside Marc Goldberg, who pioneered the approach, offer you and your canine companion a way forward using a game-changing tool: the invisible leash or electronic collar.

Now in paperback, The Art of Training Your Dog presents their compassionate, efficient system along with helpful advice on choosing the best collar. At the right moment, using a light touchβ€”one that many humans can't even feelβ€”strategically refocuses your dog's attention.

This method helps you create effortless teaching moments that tie into your dog's pack instincts and help strengthen your bond with your dog. In as little as six weeks, your pup can master good leash manners; obey basic commands, such as sit, down, and stay; stop problematic behaviours; and play safely off leash with consistent recall.
