“The Power of Play

It’s true that learning is more fun – and effective – when you’re having a good time!  The same applies to training your dog!  They’re naturally playful animals and will respond and learn best when they’re enjoying the task at hand.  Play Your Way to Good Manners will show you how to train your dog to learn good behavior through a collection of cool and exciting tricks, sports moves, and interactive games.  Accomplished dog trainers Kate Naito and Sarah Westcott have combined their professional experience to present manners training in a new and fun way, creating a positive reinforcement program that you and your dog can easily follow.  From politely walking on a leash and ringing a bell to giving you paw and opening drawers, your dog’s attitude won’t be ‘I have to do this’ – it will be ‘I want to do this!’

What Your Dog Will Learn:

• Basic and advanced behaviors and tricks
• Impulse control indoors, outdoors, and around distractions
• Coming to you, even in the park
• Polite leash walking
• Controlled interactions with kids and guests
• Games to burn energy and encourage good manners
• And so much more!”
