Don't Eat That - (Predation Substitute Training) by Simone Mueller & Charlotte Garner & Päivi Kokko (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Living with a dog who relentlessly scavenges food can be exhausting. Instead of enjoying relaxed walks with your dog, you are constantly scanning the environment for discarded food and feel frustrated as you fish something disgusting out of their mouth, yet again.

The problem is that scavenging is a deep-rooted, natural behaviour, making it much more

challenging to manage than other canine behaviours.

But here is the good news!

Using the proven training protocol provided in this book helps you manage your dog's scavenging behaviour in a kind, effective way - achieving long-term results without aversive training techniques.

It's inclusive for everyone, no matter what your situation is! It's successful with any dog, regardless of their age, breed, or history. Stressful walks will become a thing of the past, and you will find relief knowing your dog is safe from eating something harmful.

If this all sounds too good to be true, believe me, it isn't! Once you start this training protocol, the only regret you will have is that you didn't know about it sooner!

IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL LEARN:

• Why your dog loves to scavenge.
• Ways to prevent your dog from devouring food they come across outside.
• Fun training games to keep your dog motivated while they learn.
• How to teach your dog to cooperate with you when they find food.
• New emergency cues and how to apply them to real-life scenarios.
• How to make your walks more enjoyable again!

Review Quotes

I loved the book and how it was set out and all the games were easy to understand and broken down well. - Katie L.

I really enjoyed reading through this book. Like your other books, I was left feeling very impressed by how much ground you manage to cover while still keeping things concise and straightforward. I appreciate that the exercises are practical and accessible and that you provide perspectives on the "why" of the exercises rather than just presenting the "how." - Emily W. (Canada)

I thought that the book was easy to read and understand. I really like the instructional format and the accompanying photographs are clear in most parts. The overall structure also makes sense and means that particular exercises will be easy to find for future reference. (...) Overall, a fantastic, well written and organized book. - Katherine M.

I LOVE IT! Very easy to understand and follow the instructions, without excessive or unnecessary rambling. Personally, I often struggle to focus when reading books, but have found this book very readable and easy to stay focused with. The illustrations are awesome too, as are the demonstrative photos. - Michelle C. (South Africa)

I absolutely loved it!! And there is no other books that I have come across that address these issues. - Marion H. (UK)

My favorite part of the book was the troubleshooting sections of the Core Games. I'm a professional trainer, so I know that there will always be questions when a client is working through a behavior. I like that you have addressed, what are most likely, the frequent questions that come up with each game. - Cindy B.
