Training the Best Dog Ever<\/I>, originally published in hardcover as The Love That Dog Training Program<\/I>, is a book based on love and kindness. It features a program of positive reinforcement and no-fail techniques that author Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz used to train the White House dog, Bo Obama, and each of Senator Ted Kennedy’s dogs, among countless others.

Training the Best Dog Ever <\/I>relies on trust and treats, not choke collars; on bonding, not leash-yanking or reprimanding. The five-week training program takes only 10 to 20 minutes of practice a day and works both for puppies and for adult dogs that need to be trained out of bad habits. Illustrated with step-by-step photographs, the book covers hand-feeding; crate and potty training; and basic cues—sit, stay, come here<\/I>—as well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct typical behavior problems, including jumping, barking, and leash-pulling. Plus: how to make your dog comfortable in the world—a dog that knows how to behave in a vet’s office, is at ease around strangers, and more. In other words, the best dog ever.<\/DIV><\/div>\n

Part of Week Two: Training in Everyday Life<\/p>\n
\n If you ever need to control your dog in an urgent safety situation, such as avoiding an aggressive dog or a distraction that makes her either fearful or overly excited, you will be grateful that the down cue is part of her repertoire.\n <\/p>\n
\n Your dog is ready to learn down when she can sit fairly reliably. The cue takes advantage of her natural tendency to move her body to follow a lure, so it is an appropriate cue to learn after sit.\n <\/p>\n
START AT SIT. With your dog in the sit position, hold a lure in your fingertips with your palm turned down.<\/p>\n
LURE DOWN. Slide the lure toward your dog\u2019s chest. Just before you touch her chest, lure straight down to the floor, staying close to her body. <\/p>\n
PRAISE, THEN TREAT LAST. If she drops straight down, mark it (say \u201cgood\u201d), praise her, touch her collar, and reward her with the treat.<\/p>\n
