Offering a positive, nonforceful approach to training, this instructional guidebook explains how to apply the TTouch Method-a training function based on circular movements of the fingers and hands-to raising happy, healthy puppies. Used by dog owners, trainers, breeders, and veterinarians, as well as in animal shelters around the world, the TTouch Method aids puppy owners in solving common behavioral problems and in training their pet in a stress-free manner. With exercises designed around overcoming obstacles, this guide provides the resources for improving a puppy's mental and physical health while creating a lasting bond between owner and companion.
I have a Boston Terrier puppy - lovable but with high energy - and have on hand at least five books on how to raise and train a puppy. This touch technique is very helpful to get Sadie relaxed. And the bonding is an extra special bonus. I would suggest using this book and technique for anyone training a puppy.
