Lucky Dog Lessons: Train Your Dog in 7 Days
Brandon McMillian believes that no dog is beyond saving, and the loving, positive, successful methods he offers will work wonders.
About the book
Based on proven techniques that simplify and streamline training and yield results after a few short lessons each day, Lucky Dog Lessons shows you how to:
- Get—and keep—your dog’s undivided attention
- Use your dog’s food drive to your advantage
- Adjust your approach based on your dog’s energy level
- Use rewards—treats, toys, and play—effectively
Throughout, McMillan shares his favorite success stories: Apollo, a leash-wrecking troublemaker turned star service dog; Grover, a sweet-tempered boomerang shelter dog who overcame severe separation anxiety; and Jemma, who transformed from an overexcited, antic-prone pup to a well-mannered companion.
What can I expect to learn?
Lucky Dog Lessons begins with the basics—building trust, establishing focus and control, and mastering training techniques.
From there, McMillan explains his playful, careful, and kind approach to training the 7 Common Commands he teaches every dog: SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, OFF, HEEL, and NO.
Next, McMillan provides solutions to common canine behavior problems, including house training issues, door dashing, chewing, barking, and common mealtime misbehaviors. Lucky Dog Lessons includes easy-to-follow steps, illustrative examples, tried-and-true tips and tricks, and photographs to demonstrate each technique.
