Product Description
“…purebred or mixed, with this book any dog can become a Canine Good Citizen…. The Volhards’…approach to training, which they call the Motivational Method,…is designed to do just that—motivate the owner and the dog. The Motivational Method is grounded on a thorough knowledge of how people learn and dog behavior. Since 1983 they have authored or co-authored four major books on dog training and teaching dog Obedience classes, and have produced four video tapes. I am…pleased that they have written this book on the Canine Good Citizen. I cannot think of anyone else who could have done a better job. This book contains everything the reader needs to know about training any dog to become a Canine Good Citizen. Still, there is much more—the book shares a wealth of insights for the beginner, as well as the experienced dog person. The book’s best feature is that it gives each person the means to tailor the training to the individual dog’s character and temperament. It thoroughly explains what makes dogs different and how these differences dictate the approach to training that needs to be taken.” –James E. Dearinger, AKC Vice President, Obedience

The American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen program was developed to promote responsible dog ownership in a manner that would be easy for both dog and owner. Any book that promotes and encourages dog owners to participate is doing a public service, and this book does it well.

“This book is aptly named. Yes, every dog, both pure-bred dogs and mixed breeds, can be a good citizen if their owners care enough to make it happen. The key is to encourage dog owners everywhere to be responsible enough to make their dogs a pleasure to be around and able to handle most situations that they might be expected to encounter in everyday life.” –Robert H. McKowen AKC Vice President, Performance Events
