Book description

What is Natural Dog Training? The foundation principle is that what is most natural about the dog, its wildest essence, the predatory heritage from its ancestor, the wolf, is good. And if this capacity is nurtured, cultivated and amplified, the dog's cooperative and loving nature will be the most pronounced aspect of its character.
When a relationship with a dog and a training program are composed from these aspects, then a dog will be calm, balanced, and in 100% accord with his owner.
