 These books are essential reading for all owners of dogs under 12 months of age and will show you how to prevent problems like house-soiling and destructive chewing, and how to raise a dog that is quiet, calm and well mannered as well as obedient and confident around people.
Visit www.dogstardaily.com and click on Training Textbook for more free advice on training and behaviour. Dr Dunbar’s BEFORE & AFTER books above have been made available free of charge courtesy of the author, through an initiative of The Siberian Husky Club of NSW Inc http://www.shcnsw.org.au..
Our very own Scottie training expert, Marion Bollard has reviewed this initiative and believes the information is vital for new owners. She says "Anything that educates people before they buy a dog is a good thing.  Having taught puppy classes for over five years now I've seen a lot of people who have bought a puppy with no real idea of what to expect or do.  A lot also have very unreal expectations."
:The STC Inc has very few rescues. We believe education is the key to reducing rescues even more.
