Dog Training For Children

Children have natural advantages as trainers. Dogs like being with them, because they are playful and fun. Children aren't as forceful as adults. Children tend to coax and encourage, so dogs are happier to work for them. All they have to do is learn a few simple training techniques and they'll soon put grown ups in the shade. This video will help younger members of the family make the most of their natural talents, and prove that dog training is indeed, child's play. Adapted from the British television program Dogs With Dunbar Topics include: Taking on a new puppy. Housetraining. Early leash training. Teaching Sit and Down. Developing a rapport. Focusing attention. Improving off-leash control. Training a fast recall. Training as a family. Family competitions. Improving the Sit Stay. Teaching with toys. Playing training games. This DVD is written and hosted by veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and author Dr. Ian Dunbar-- the creator of off-leash puppy classes, which sparked the revolution for positive, reward based, do-friendly training. Dr Ian Dunbar is the founder of several dog-training organizations, including the Center for applied animal Behavior; the Association of Pet Dog Trainers-- the largest and most influential worldwide association of professional pet dog trainers; and SIRIUS Puppy Training -- The Original Puppy Training School.
