Dogs Need Guidance ... Just Like Kids do!

Being a benevolent leader is NOT the same as
"getting dominance" over your dog!

This booklet is used by hundreds
of organizations around the country to help people raise polite and happy dogs. It combines a true understanding of canine behavior with kind and simple exercises that allow dogs to trust that they can count on their owners when they need to.


This dog training booklet clarifies how to be a benevolent leader and avoid aggression related to fear or dominance. If you want to be a natural leader to your dog -- like any good teacher or parent -- and teach your dog that being polite is fun, this booklet tells you how to do it in a peaceful, kind way. The ideas and exercises are based on the way dogs communicate with each other, so they are highly effective and easy for your dog to understand. Written by Patricia McConnell, it is an essential part of any canine library and very popular with humane societies, rescue groups and vet clinics!
