Dogs love to play, yet in training, humans can overlook its value
and importance. The Joy of Playing with Your Dog reveals how
playing can be developed into an invaluable tool to support
behavioural development, obedience and strong bonds. With
full-colour photographs and step-by-step instructions, this guide
from The Monks of New Skete and Marc Goldberg, America’s foremost
dog trainers, shows you how to enjoy a happier dog the “play
way”. Does your dog come when called, even near distractions?
This book offers games to teach that skill. Does your puppy pick up
forbidden objects like glasses, shoes or cell phones? The right
training games can correct that behaviour. Do you wish your dog
could be more socialised with other people and dogs? The book
contains a chapter full of success-making tips and hacks to help
your dog successfully make friends. What about dog parks and doggy
daycare? Learn to assess the risks and rewards to find the right
environment for your dog. From housebreaking a puppy to increasing
the lifespan of your senior dog, play is an essential element of
your relationship with your canine companion throughout their
entire life. Through play, you and your dog learn critical skills
together, decrease frustration and improve communication. For
example, Fetch—the most basic of games—taps into a dog’s prey
drive in a healthy manner. It encourages interaction and reinforces
commands like come and drop it. A good game puts
the owner in control, while the dog follows the rules. Applying the
Monks of New Skete's renowned approach to dog training to the topic
of play, The Joy of Playing with Your Dog is an
invaluable addition to the dog-training bookshelf.
The Monks of New Skete, longtime breeders of German shepherds and
renowned dog trainers of all breeds, have codeveloped a new
training technique. In this book, the monks and Marc Goldberg, who
pioneered the approach, offer a leap into the future using a
game-changing tool: the remote electronic collar. The Art of
Training Your Dog presents their compassionate and efficient system
for the first time, with background and advice on choosing the
right collar. Using a light touch-one that many humans can't even
feel-at just the right moment, helps to focus a dog's attention.
The authors help you create effortless teaching moments that tie
into your dog's natural pack instincts and help strengthen the bond
with your dog. In as little as just 6 weeks, most pups will master
skills like great leash manners; obey commands such as "sit",
"down", "stay" and "place"; stop troublesome behaviours; and play
safely off-leash with consistent recall.

Today's dog training market is filled with fads and quick fixes,
and most dog owners are so desperate for solutions that they spend
princely sums to rehabilitate their dogs. Many modern training
techniques fail both people and dogs, though, and throwing money,
discipline, or pills at dog behavioral problems can't fix a bond
between a dog and its owner that was broken in the first place. But
in a world where many people don't have the ability to spend as
much time with their beloved canines as they'd like, how do you
nurture a whole and sustaining connection with your dog? Building
on the approach set forth in their two enduring bestsellers, The
Monks of New Skete unveil a new mindset that realizes a life with
your dog that once seemed unimaginable. They guide the reader on
how to use the time they already spend with their dogs more wisely,
and give them specific goals to meet the dog's needs. This book
will show you how to live with your canine companion in an
intentional, purposeful, and deeply rewarding way. Transformative
for canine companion and human alike, THE ART OF LIVING WITH YOUR
DOG will be an essential addition to any serious dog owner's
bookshelf.
