More than fifteen years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play-t in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression. She realized we can make it fun for our dogs to listen to us and behave as we want them to. Tamar went on to train the dogs of many celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Nicollette Sheridan, Owen Wilson, the Osbournes, and others. Her naggressive methods are so revolutionary that the Humane Society of the United States approached her to be a consultant, and she w teaches animal behavior at Pepperdine University. In The Loved Dog, Tamar shows anyone how to childproof a dog, teach him vocabulary, use treats the right way, play tug of war to build trust, make it fun for him to come when called, teach him t to jump on people, and much more-using only playful bonding and positive reinforcement.
