The Friendly Dog Training Guide

This guide turns traditional dog training on its head. "Every dog deserves to develop to its greatest potential. Rather than suppress eccentricities and press our puppies into a given mould, I say let's go for fantastic character." This is Roger Mugford's philosophy and attitude to dog training, based on how the dog's mind works and calm, non-emotional methods. He explains the whys and wherefores of dog training, describes what the ideal training class should be like and deals with behavioural problems. He shows that the basic commands can be taught simply, easily and without fuss and that even the most complicated command can be taught by simple progression. Roger Mugford runs the Animal Behaviour Centre in Chertsey, Surrey, and has also written "Dr Mugford's Casebook".
