Annotation: Training dogs has traditionally been done by using negative reinforcement and brute force. Take the choke collar as an example. But the tide is turning, and Terry Ryan, world-renowned dog trainer, is at the forefront of a revolution. Outwitting Dogs draws on her twenty-five years of hands-on experience helping people understand dogs, train dogs, and solve dog behavior problems using kinder, gentler methods. Outwitting Dogs uses more brain than brawn to motivate dog behavior with positive training techniques and helps readers truly understand the minds of their canine friends (and even enemies).

othe chronic chewero the dog who won't come
