And, her cat training book, Cat Training in 10 Minutes, won the Muse Medallion for best training book of the year (in 2003) and resided on the best seller lists of pet books for over a decade. As a professional pet trainer, Miriam Fields has designed her own positive, humane training methods, along with training tools, to ensure your dog can learns to focus on you, while also enjoying the training process. These training tools give you the means to gently redirect your dog's attention, and focus, without having to use any restraint or heavy muscle work. A large dog who is reactive is easily redirected and quickly calmed, returning to the learning process in seconds. An untrained dog quickly learns how to perform appropriate behavior patterns, while extinguishing inappropriate behaviors. All without using constant punishment or assertive training techniques!
