As a self-identified cat person, I have largely been able to ignore the dog world. Having entered it I can see that this territory is a mine field thus caution is advised less a dog person jump on you barking with opinions. Educating myself was my chosen strategy of defense.

From the first book I read, Katz on Dogs by Jon Katz, I learned that 95% of American dog owners do not train their dogs (past the housebreaking part presumably). THow dog owners talk about why their dog is behaving badly and what their dog is thinking fills the vacuum created by this general ignorance. Katz calls this Theory of Mind—that is—the pet owners theories of what is going on in the dog’s mind, not what is actually going on which is much more basic per a creature with the IQ of a three year old. He also talks about two different schools of training, the pack leader method and the behavior modification technique whereby you wait for the dog to do the right thing then reward it with a treat or simply bribe the dog to do something. Don’t give the dog anything for free is the motto here. Katz prefers this theory and he teaches very accessible, methods of getting the dog to behave using treats and a dog crate for the time out periods and for calming a dog.

Behavior modification is the method used by television’s Animal Planet dog trainer, Victoria Stillwell, a British woman, dressed like Miss Peal, making house calls in her black Porsche convertible and busting dog owners on their negligence and stupidity regarding dogs, very much like the British woman in Nanny 101. I’ve never been tempted to use this British stereotype myself, but there is a not insignificant part of me that lives there, plus my mother devoted her career, as a child behaviorist, using these no nonsense techniques.

As far as TV personalities in the dog world go, no one can hold a candle to Cesar Milan, aka the Dog Whisperer. He is of the pack leader theory and his ability with dogs in this regard is phenomenal. I’m so impressed with his presentation I shall give his book a separate review. His show makes great television because of the remarkable change in behavior, even in the most unruly dogs, sometimes within half an hour. His techniques are varied and diverse to fit the dog, but high on his list is the attitude of the trainer as pack leader and the use of dog protocol to establish this leadership. It is almost cultural and reminds me a bit of the Asian protocol for bowing to establish hierarchy. I suspect that most dog owners would find his teachings difficult to apply because it means that they must practice a discipline that goes against all their dog loving desire to love the dog as one would a human. All these books talk about how problematic is this tendency to think animals into humans.

Interestingly enough both he and Katz recommend the books by the Monks of New Skete. Published in 1978, this was virtually the only dog training book until very recently. They also have a video filled with beautiful German shepherds and a rural New York landscape that makes it easy to take in their teachings. Theirs is the middle way. Treats are allowed, but infrequently. Discipline and repetition are the backbone of their methods, while affection is encouraged for socializing the puppies. They also bring a spiritual approach to the communion of man and beast that is compelling in its premise of humans living in harmony with the earth.

Then there is the matter of breeds. This book from the Smithsonian is an encyclopedia of dog breeds, a fascinating dog phenomena in itself. Choosing a breed is one thing, finding a dog of a specific breed is quite another especially if not a popular well known one.

I slipped a cat book in there just to keep to my roots, Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched The World, just released.

And finally there is the Before And After Getting Your Puppy by Ian Dunbar, recommended by a professional dog walker I consulted. Just talking to her raised my anxiety level as she told me how a puppy needed to learn "bite inhibition" and go to puppy socialization class. The book implies that if you don’t do all these things you could have a monster on your hands or toileting problems for months, but it is very clear in its step by step instructions full of pictures. With all these instructions it is easy to be "scared straight" and not get a dog at all at least for me. My hightened anxiety threw me into fit of prophylactic criticism so Catherine shut down the project.

Best Dog Training Book ? How a Massive E-Course Improved My Dog’s Behavior

Are you looking for the best dog training book?

Alright here’s the news, there is no such thing as the best dog training book. You see, most dog training books place heavy emphasis on theory and only provide presumptive information which is something that we dog owners should avoid.

You know, when it comes to training a dog, I recommend obtaining information that focuses on both theory and practical with more emphasis on the latter.  Once, I heard people raving positively about a certain dog obedience training book and some even went as far as citing it as the “the best dog training book”…

Well, yeah right!

As it turns out, the book was actually quite mediocre as it contained too many filler information and lacked step-by-step guide on how to shape a dog’s behavior, how to teach basic obedience commands, housetraining, dog leash training instructions etc.

These things are very important but most dog training books don’t deliver such information in an easy-to-follow fashion…

But there is a simple solution however!

See, my black lab Cheeku used to be a pretty stubborn customer. Very hard to train her! So after spending God only knows how many hours reading this so-called best dog training book, I deduced that in order to train Cheeku effectively, I must refer to training material that contains step-by-step instructions and photos along with videos.

That’s right my friend! You can’t go wrong if you have this sort of training material at your disposal.

So to keep a long story short, I came across a complete e-course package that teaches owners how to train and shape acceptable behaviors in their dogs with the aid of very cheap little metal box called clicker.

Problem solved!

Well, not immediately mind you. However the e-course is extremely helpful because it offers a decent overview on the principles of clicker training along with beginner-friendly practical instructions.

I discovered about 30 different behavior training methods thanks to this massive e-course. I’m on method #12 right now and Cheeku is really enjoying our training sessions.

Now, my one piece of advice here is to seek guidance from courses that offers both easy to follow step-by-step instructions and videos to help you train your dog better and faster. Quit searching for that “best dog training book” because they simply do not exist.

Alright so, once you go through the aforesaid e-course (downloadable to your computer), you will not only know how to train your dog using a clicker, but will also get him to do whatever you want thanks to the intensive behavior shaping strategies outlined in the course.

Speaking of behavior shaping techniques, please refer to the following external material link to check out a step-by-step guide (with detailed photos) that explains how to train your dog or puppy using a clicker. Videos are also included and best viewed on broadband connection.

Q&A: Could someone recommend a book or video on drug detection dog training?

215328563 8fa814f7af m Q&A: Could someone recommend a book or video on drug detection dog training?
by dbking

Question by intheloopchicago: Could someone recommend a book or video on drug detection dog training?
Havn’t found any useful websites or anything so was wondering if someone could recommend a book or video or website on drug detection dog training.

Best answer:

Answer by greekman
There are several, but, you will not be able to do it out of a book or video, I promise you. Look at leerburg.com see if he has any. Again, what you are trying to do has legal implications and you need actual drugs. I have been doing it for 27 years, I know. If you try to short circuit it, you will get in trouble. This is not a game.
