Long known as a dog coach to the stars--her clients include Oprah
Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Owen Wilson, Natalie
Portman, and Larry King--Tamar Geller changed the way Americans
relate to their dogs with her bestselling book "The Loved Dog." Her
approach is simple and down-to-earth. Instead of utilizing the
negative and often painful feedback of physical dominance, choke
chains, and prong collars, Tamar recommends love, play, and mutual
respect as the keys to a happy home for dog and human alike.
Now, Tamar makes her Loved Dog(TM) Method accessible for everyone
with this day-by-day guide that will lead you through the first
thirty days with your new dog--or help you make a fresh start with
your current dog. Drawing on her studies of wolves in the wild and
basing her method on the principles of child development, Tamar
uses an "instincts versus choice" approach that satisfies a dog's
Seven Basic Needs and will result in a pet with good manners.
"30 Days to a Well-Mannered Dog "covers every question commonly
asked by people embarking on the momentous journey of dog
ownership: why it's important to choose the appropriate dog for you
and your lifestyle, what you can expect from a puppy versus an
adult dog, how to introduce your new dog to your home, and how to
respond when things don't go according to plan. Tamar guides you
every step of the way, from addressing undesired behaviors in your
dog to crate and paper training him to introducing him to other
dogs and helping him become relaxed with strangers. Included are
important but often overlooked tips about the use of words and body
language to communicate, the power of play, and the amazing value
of teaching your dog some lighthearted pet tricks.
Along the way, Tamar debunks myths in need of debunking: that dogs
are frequently "alpha" by nature and need to be dominated; that
discipline is the key to dog training, and that "success" only
means getting your dog to do what you want. Instead, she shows how
to align your dog's wishes with your own to create a rich and
enduring relationship that works wonderfully for you both.
Gentle, firm, and effective, "30 Days to a Well-Mannered Dog" will
build your relationship with your dog to make every new day
together a day of love, joy, and discovery.
