Drive & Control
How to Train a Powerful Dog That Listens When It Matters
Most owners of powerful dogs don’t have an obedience problem. They have a control problem. The dog knows sit, down and come. But when the drive switches on, the brakes disappear.
In Drive & Control, protection dog trainer and breeder Rui Navarro, known as Dogman Rui on YouTube, shares the system he uses with his own German Shepherds, Malinois and Boerboels. The goal is not a calm, boring dog. The goal is to keep the fire and build brakes that work at full speed.
Paperback, hardcover and Kindle editions on Amazon.
