Training the Best Dog Ever guides the reader through Sylvia-Stasiewicz's training program exactly as she guided her famous and not-so-famous students-starting with bringing your dog home, through the basics of early puppy training, into intermediate training (tricks and socialization), and on to advanced and specialized training. It's all here: The importance of hand feeding. Bonding. Realistic ways to involve kids, while keeping them safe. Avoiding and correcting common behavior issues: potty training, destroying shoes and furniture, jumping, barking, aggression. No biting! Fun and tricks. Agility training. Water safety. Making sure you have a dog who can be with others-who travels well, goes to the vet, meets strangers … in other words, the best dog ever.
