Features: To have a dog as a family member and live a happy life together, it is necessary to train and discipline them. Training and discipline involve using scientific methods to teach dogs to perform specific actions and tasks as requested by humans, cultivating good habits, understanding household rules, and abiding by them. Dog training should be gradual, starting with simple tasks and progressing to more complex ones, tailored to the individual dog, treated differently, and maintained consistently. This will surely make the dog a close family member and loyal companion. Going for walks, exercising, and shopping together add many joys to life. This book uses illustrations to explain the steps of dog training, making it easy to understand. By following the illustrations step by step, even first-time dog owners can master the methods of raising and training dogs. Additionally, Professor Moriyoshi Yasushi from the Animal Behavior Research Laboratory of Tokyo University has conducted psychological analyses of bad behaviors in dogs, such as biting and barking, making this book not only very helpful for first-time dog owners who have failed in training but also beneficial for those with experience in raising dogs.
