A revolutionary new training method―using the easy “purposeful walk”―for a fully trained dog in as little as 6 weeks!

The Monks of New Skete, longtime breeders of German shepherds and renowned dog trainers of all breeds, have codeveloped a new training technique. In this book, the monks and Marc Goldberg, who pioneered the approach, offer a leap into the future using a game-changing tool: the remote electronic collar. The Art of Training Your Dog presents their compassionate and efficient system for the first time, with background and advice on choosing the right collar.

Using a light touch―one that many humans can’t even feel―at just the right moment, helps to focus a dog’s attention. The authors help you create effortless teaching moments that tie into your dog’s natural pack instincts and help strengthen the bond with your dog.

In as little as just 6 weeks, most pups will master skills like great leash manners; obey commands such as “sit”, “down”, “stay”, and “place”; stop troublesome behaviors; and play safely off-leash with consistent recall. 100 color photographs

Bundle the leash in your left hand so the dog has 2 feet of slack.

If your dog pulls away, bring your leash hand back to your side and shorten the leash if necessary.

If your dog chooses to lay down, let him.

The keystone of our program is a deliberate and structured exercise we call the Purposeful Walk. During a Purposeful Walk, your dog walks at your side with her head, neck, or shoulder (depending on your and her preference) close to your left leg. As Pack Leader, you are in charge of determining the following critical factors even for your little pack of two:

The pace or speed of the walkThe direction we goWhich distractions we ignore and which we engage with
