MOTHER KNOWS BEST:
THE NATURAL WAY TO TRAIN YOUR DOG
by Carol Lea Benjamin
 
Review by Edell Schaefer
Originally published in 1985, this is one of the new wave
of training books to focus more on positive methods and motivation
than the more traditional compulsion and punishment techniques.
Ms. Benjamin covers the basics of canine communication, rewards
and punishments, basic obedience for puppies and adults, and
games to play with your dog. This book is written for the person
who wants to have a well behaved family companion. It is thoroughly
indexed and well illustrated with photographs and line drawings.
Carol Benjamin also wrote several other worthwhile books including:
DOG PROBLEMS and DOG TRAINING FOR KIDS. The first covers common
breakdowns in human - canine communication that lead to destructive
chewing, barking, house breaking issues, and a host of other
difficulties. Families hoping to introduce a dog into their
households with children will appreciate DOG TRAINING FOR KIDS.
