Easier said than done – pets have minds of their own, and you want to start sooner rather than later to get them to avoid bad behavior.
So I enjoyed going through the ebook ‘How to Stop Your Puppy or Older Dog from Biting’, a multi-author report on the subject of training pups (and older dogs as the title states) to not bite.
The first part gives general information on how to manage pup aggressiveness and training to avoid biting, while the second part (the guest articles), deal with specific topics such as how to prepare for a new (human) arrival in the family, handling compulsive behaviors, dealing with cars and dogs, and similar topics. There’s even a section on canine guilt!
One other aspect I liked – it dealt with the aftermaths, with sections on advising dog bites victims, and what should be done after your dog bites. As good as training may be, it may happen…
Not being a dog owner, I have to say the ebook attracted me for the opposites reason – I’m not worried about my pet – I’m worried about others’ pets! I think it’s a great gift idea for pet owners, providing them information they need help train their pet.
