Aus dem Klappentext

Since man and dog established their ancient partnership by the light of some primordial camp fire flickering in the mists of prehistory, their relationship to each other has changed dramatically. What was allowable canine behavior in an earlier time often is not acceptable in our enlightened age. At first things were easy. The caveman had no furniture for the dog to chew on or rugs to spot. And later, the desert bedouin had the rug, but there was no door on the tent and the dog did not have to be taken out or even housetrained. The Middle Ages saw a rather casual approach to cleanliness, for man and dog alike, and what man did not know about hygiene and health worked against them both. Over the centuries, however, things changed for the better, and today's dog is cleaner, healthier, better trained and more suitably fit for the role we demand of it. But sometimes, just like people, a dog backslides, or it might be improperly trained or socialized, or something just might be missing that puts it on the road to being a problem for its owner. Here is People, Pooches & Problems, ready to help. Written by one of today's most respected dog training authorities, this new book looks at the whole range of undesirable canine behavior and gives the reader a highly potent means for dealing with housetraining, food stealing, destructiveness, barking, aggression toward dogs and people and similar areas of concern. Job Michael Evans leads us to a clear understanding of why dogs respond as they do and shows how to restore a derailed relationship with a dog by correcting problem behavior through his "Radical Regimen for Recalcitrant Rovers" program, a proven means for achieving compliance with "social rehabilitation" that is presented in the author's original style, a bright combination of authority and understanding. This is the book for dogs and those who love them.
