When good dogs do bad things, they aren't necessarily problem dogs, but dogs with problems. "And sooner or later, every dog will exhibit some kind of problem," says Matthew Margolis, founder of the National Institute of Dog Training. Forget the rolled up newspaper, Woof! A Guide to Dog Training provides an easy-to-use method to train the dog in your life using a sane and loving approach to dog obedience. Woof! brings you out to the training ground as well as into do's and dont's for training various breeds and personality types; demostrates the "tools of the trade" and the skills needed to work with your dog humanely; and provides clear and accessible solutions to some of the most common problems. Mostly, Woof! will dispel common training myths and give you the practical knowledge needed to strengthen the bond between you and your four footed best friend. Matthew Margolis has been reprogramming dogs for 25 years and is a noted "trainer to the stars." Margolis is also known as the pet specialist on NBC's Saturday Today Show, and is the co-author of eight books on dog training.
