"A celebrity dog trainer shares his training system to transform any dog - from spoiled purebred puppy to shelter-shocked rescue - into a model companion in just seven days. Each week on the television show Lucky Dog, Brandon McMillan rescues an untrained, unwanted, "unadoptable" shelter dog. These dogs undergo a miraculous transformation as they learn to trust McMillan, master his 7 Common Commands, and overcome their behavior problems - ultimately becoming well-mannered pets and even service dogs. Now, McMillan helps readers turn their own pets into well-trained Lucky Dog graduates. It begins with the basics - building trust, establishing focus and control, and mastering training techniques. From there, McMillan explains the 7 Common Commands he teaches every dog: SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, OFF, HEEL, and NO. Next, he provides solutions to common canine behavior problems, including house training issues, door dashing, chewing, barking, and common mealtime misbehaviors. Throughout the book, McMillan shares inspiring stories about his favorite students and gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the show and some of his most unique and challenging canine encounters. He believes that no dog is beyond saving, and the loving, positive, successful methods he offers will work wonders with even the most challenging dog.
