Every dog owner must make a
choice: Do you want a fearful and submissive pet, or do you
want a
happy, joyful, and well-mannered member of the
family? Tamar
Geller's mission in life is to teach her cruelty-free method
of "life
coaching" for dogs and their people. Her revolutionary
play-training
uses mutual understanding and respect -- and puts an end to
outdated
methods that rely on physical exhaustion, choke chains,
prong collars,
dominance rollovers, or stressful aggression of any
kind. A
former Israeli intelligence officer who witnessed the horrors of
military dog training methods, Tamar went on to observe
wolves in the
wild. She discovered that wolves educate and socialize their
cubs with
games, bonding, and body language, not dominance or
punishment. As a
result, she developed teaching systems that address a dog's
authentic
nature, part wolflike and part toddlerlike. Learning can be
a positive
experience that dogs enjoy and look forward to, and we can
actually
make it fun for our dogs to listen to us and behave as we
want them to. Tamar's
insights have brought dog training into the twenty-first
century, and
her groundbreaking techniques have won the approval of the
Humane
Society of the United States, for which she is a longtime
advisor. Her
celebrity clients include Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney
Cox-Arquette, Owen Wilson, and the Osbournes, and she has
appeared as
an expert on the Today show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Animal
Planet, and
more. In The Loved Dog, Tamar gives you
all the
instruction, insights, and tips you need to teach your dog good
manners, as well as to troubleshoot specific problems and
unwanted
behaviors. She helps you and your dog learn a common language,
resulting in a loving, respectful relationship that will
bring you
years of joy and companionship. Tamar's play-training
approach is so
gentle, even children can get involved. Whether you use Tamar's methods to raise a puppy or teach an
old dog new tricks, you'll love The Loved Dog.
