Both books by Mary Ray teach you how to conduct training with your dog or puppy at home. The book teaches you how to positively reinforce dog/puppy behaviors you want. This way you are shaping your dog/puppy’s desired behaviors.
This in turn on reverse is how to diminish (and with time) remove unwanted dog/puppy behaviors.
You become aware of what you are doing to reinforce both kinds of behavior. You can learn how to reward successive approximations: behaviors your dog is doing that are in line/direction with the desired behavior. Learning how to positively reinforce your dog/puppy’s good behaviors is key to completing obedience and home manners tasks at home.
All this simply by reading the book and following its’ directions. Will you ever need to take your dog to training classes in the community, or have a dog trainer visit you at home? The answers are yes because many of the specialized training classes service dogs need require formal training, testing and enrollments. And the same is true about agilities and other performance based dog work that is done.
So if you are building foundations at home with your dog, look for this book by name:
