Product Description:
You can take her with you...
If you're like most dog owners, you want a trustworthy companion you can take on family vacations, to ball games, on hikes, and to cafes and festivals. You want your dog to behave when you have guests, stay peacefully at hotels, ride calmly in elevators, and maintain proper doggie decorum in all kinds of situations.
Chances are, you've watched and admired assistance and therapy dogs who are attentive to their owners' needs no matter what. This book taps into the secrets of assistance and therapy dog trainers and shows you how to use focused foundation socialization training to make sure your dog is well behaved--even in unfamiliar environments loaded with distractions and temptations. It goes beyond typical behavioral training and basic commands and covers: - Evaluating your dog and recognizing traits that will affect her needs
- Using reward-based processes to teach complex behaviors and self-discipline
- Creating a socialization program that makes your dog focused on you and confident in different environments
- Reading your dog so you can anticipate her reactions and keep her focused on your directions
With these sophisticated training techniques, you'll turn your family pet into a sociable, take-anywhere dog who will always be welcome!

I only found two pages devoted to tips for training in this book. The rest of the book just went on and on about how great therapy dogs behave in public, giving examples of their wonderful behavior in various situations. I kept reading, thinking they'd get to the part where they tell you how you too, can have such an admirable dog. But that part never came. Very disappointing book.

This book is a valuable resource for those seeking the pleasures and rewards of owning a well-behaved dog. Very readable, with lots of useful features, photos, and anecdotes from the author's own extensive experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to gain insight into the complex and often misunderstood behaviors of their canine companions.
