ABC Practical Guide to Dog Training

by Steven Appelbaum

Overview

With the proliferation of titles in the market today, why another book on pet dog training?

Because most of them sound wonderful, but don't work! And the dogs being trained often develop problems as a result. Frustrated pet owners are looking for practical, humane answers -- that provide results.

The experienced approach contained in The ABC Practical Training Guide has proven itself with over 40,000 dog owners across the United States and Canada who have found their answers ""as simple as ABC.""
