She reveals how a dog's breed can affect his personality and explains how to decode - and correct - common behavior problems.With the knowledge and solutions this book provides, you will train more effectively, enjoy your dog more, and ease your own stress.What's more, you'll apply what you've learned immediately, with solid, practical advice on: learning the As, Bs, Cs, and Ds of human-canine communication; teaching English to your dog - and, in turn, understanding 'Doglish'; using body language to assist in communication and help your dog learn; incorporating various kinds of touch to tighten your bond; making rewards and reprimands real, relevant, and reliable; and, understanding the relationship between kids and dogs.
