Summary

More and more dog trainers are using head halters as the most effective and humane way to correct canine behavior problems. The author explains how, despite appearances, head halters are not muzzles. Head halters teach through logic, and allow dogs more freedom and comfort than regular training devices. The author goes on to discuss the basics of good training--praise, patience, and persistence, how to make your dog sit at attention, walk on a leash, obey verbal and hand commands, behave inside the home, and ultimately--behave and enjoy the outdoors without need for collar and leash restraints. Approximately 80 full-color photos.
