Long known as a dog coach to the stars—her clients include
Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Owen
Wilson, Natalie Portman, and Larry King—Tamar Geller changed
the way Americans relate to their dogs with her bestselling
book The Loved Dog. Her approach is simple and
down-to-earth. Instead of utilizing the negative and often
painful feedback of physical dominance, choke chains, and
prong collars, Tamar recommends love, play, and mutual
respect as the keys to a happy home for dog and human alike. Now, Tamar makes her Loved Dog™ Method accessible for
everyone with this day-by-day guide that will lead you
through the first thirty days with your new dog—or help you
make a fresh start with your current dog. Drawing on her
studies of wolves in the wild and basing her method on the
principles of child development, Tamar uses an "instincts
versus choice" approach that satisfies a dog’s Seven Basic
Needs and will result in a pet with good manners. 30 Days to a Well-Mannered Dog covers every question
commonly asked by people embarking on the momentous journey
of dog ownership: why it’s important to choose the
appropriate dog for you and your lifestyle, what you can
expect from a puppy versus an adult dog, how to introduce
your new dog to your home, and how to respond when things
don’t go according to plan. Tamar guides you every step of
the way, from addressing undesired behaviors in your dog to
crate and paper training him to introducing him to other
dogs and helping him become relaxed with strangers. Included
are important but often overlooked tips about the use of
words and body language to communicate, the power of play,
and the amazing value of teaching your dog some lighthearted
pet tricks. Along the way, Tamar debunks myths in need of debunking:
that dogs are frequently "alpha" by nature and need to be
dominated; that discipline is the key to dog training, and
that "success" only means getting your dog to do what you
want. Instead, she shows how to align your dog's wishes with
your own to create a rich and enduring relationship that
works wonderfully for you both. Gentle, firm, and effective, 30 Days to a Well-Mannered Dog
will build your relationship with your dog to make every new
day together a day of love, joy, and discovery.
