Riassunto

Discipline cannot teach a dog to understand what you want. Yet, most people are taught that the only way to control their pets is through discipline and punishment. This is ridiculous, says the Behavior Savior—and she has a positive alternative to get you and your pet on the path to trust and good behavior. 

Dina Zaphiris, Malibu’s “Dog Trainer to the Stars,” has created a simple, successful system to solve any pet problem, from aggression to separation anxiety. Zaphiris has shared her tips weekly on the Bonnie Hunt Show and as co-host of the Animal Planet program Petfinder—finally, here is the definitive book that lays out her peerless methods.

 

In The Behavior Savior, Zaphiris debunks 101 myths that people must overcome to properly train their pets. Her ultra-positive, uplifting approach fosters a strong bond between parent and pet that lays a solid foundation for good behavior. She explains how to understand your pet’s behaviors and what drives them from an animal perspective, instead of human-created constructs like “dominance” or “aggression.” She then describes ways to offer rewards that change actions because your pet will want to behave well. 

In a refreshing change from Cesar Millan’s “alpha-aggressive” pet training regimen, Dina Zaphiris’s positive techniques, laid out in simple language and easy to follow instructions, will help you coach your pet to intuitively behave well and ultimately cultivate a stronger and more loving relationship.
