.,."purebred or mixed, with this book any dog can become a Canine
Good Citizen.... The Volhards'...approach to training, which they
call the Motivational Method, ...is designed to do just
thatmotivate the owner and the dog. The Motivational Method is
grounded on a thorough knowledge of how people learn and dog
behavior. Since 1983 they have authored or co-authored four major
books on dog training and teaching dog Obedience classes, and have
produced four video tapes. I am...pleased that they have written
this book on the Canine Good Citizen. I cannot think of anyone else
who could have done a better job. This book contains everything the
reader needs to know about training any dog to become a Canine Good
Citizen. Still, there is much morethe book shares a wealth of
insights for the beginner, as well as the experienced dog person.
The book's best feature is that it gives each person the means to
tailor the training to the individual dog's character and
temperament. It thoroughly explains what makes dogs different and
how these differences dictate the approach to training that needs
to be taken." aJames E. Dearinger, AKC Vice President, Obedience
The American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen program was
developed to promote responsible dog ownership in a manner that
would be easy for both dog and owner. Any book that promotes and
encourages dog owners to participate is doing a public service, and
this book does it well.
"This book is aptly named. Yes, every dog, both pure-bred dogs
and mixed breeds, can be a good citizen if their owners care enough
to make it happen. The key is to encourage dog owners everywhere to
be responsible enough to make their dogs a pleasure to be aroundand
able to handle most situations that they might be expected to
encounter in everyday life." aRobert H. McKowen AKC Vice President,
