Povel, pochvala, pochopení - Naučte psa rozumět vašim slovům (2026)

This book explains how to teach a dog the meaning of your words through lures and rewards. Dr Ian Dunbar presents this approach as gentle towards dogs and people, quick, easy, enjoyable and based on play, without a leash. Developed and refined over fifty years, lure-and-reward training helps dogs understand verbal commands and opens communication channels that make it easier to teach good manners, prevent or solve behavioural and training problems, and gradually shape a dog’s character and personality. In 1982, veterinarian and behaviourist Ian Dunbar created the SIRIUS® Puppy Training method, revolutionising puppy and dog training. His off-leash approach offered an alternative to leash jerking, alpha rolls, training collars and other aversive methods, and his concepts have influenced dog trainers around the world. The method helps dogs learn when and where to relieve themselves, what to chew, when and how long to bark, and when and how to release their energy. It also enables owners to test how well their dog understands, use everyday rewards such as walks and play with other dogs, encourage self-motivation through games, and address undesirable behaviour with effective non-aversive techniques.
