Book Reviews of The Loved Dog: The Playful, Nonaggressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior

Book Review: Absolutely the best dog training book I have ever read!
Summary: 5 Stars

Truly a compassionate and yet extremely effective approach to forming a relationship with your friend. I've read several other books that were helpful, but this one has an overall theme. Should be a required read for new dog owners. Heck, we don't even require ANY training to have a child. Fantastic how these techniques can be applied to a dog of any age! Start now! Anyways.. loved the book, easy and pleasant read, applying the directions with great success. Thank you Tamar for this wonderful book and for the Operation Heros and Hounds program. Semper Fi.

Summary of The Loved Dog: The Playful, Nonaggressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior

Every dog owner must make a choice: Do you want a fearful and submissive pet, or do you want a happy, joyful, and well-mannered member of the family?

Tamar Geller's mission in life is to teach her cruelty-free method of "life coaching" for dogs and their people. Her revolutionary play-training uses mutual understanding and respect -- and puts an end to outdated methods that rely on physical exhaustion, choke chains, prong collars, dominance rollovers, or stressful aggression of any kind.

A former Israeli intelligence officer who witnessed the horrors of military dog training methods, Tamar went on to observe wolves in the wild. She discovered that wolves educate and socialize their cubs with games, bonding, and body language, not dominance or punishment. As a result, she developed teaching systems that address a dog's authentic nature, part wolflike and part toddlerlike. Learning can be a positive experience that dogs enjoy and look forward to, and we can actually make it fun for our dogs to listen to us and behave as we want them to.

Tamar's insights have brought dog training into the twenty-first century, and her groundbreaking techniques have won the approval of the Humane Society of the United States, for which she is a longtime advisor. Her celebrity clients include Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Owen Wilson, and the Osbournes, and she has appeared as an expert on the Today show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Animal Planet, and more.

In The Loved Dog, Tamar gives you all the instruction, insights, and tips you need to teach your dog good manners, as well as to troubleshoot specific problems and unwanted behaviors. She helps you and your dog learn a common language, resulting in a loving, respectful relationship that will bring you years of joy and companionship. Tamar's play-training approach is so gentle, even children can get involved.

Whether you use Tamar's methods to raise a puppy or teach an old dog new tricks, you'll love The Loved Dog.
