Training doesn't have to be unpleasant for you or your dog! February 10, 2008
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
Instead of using force (e.g. choke collars, hitting) to get dogs to behave in ways we find acceptable, Dr. Dunbar demonstrates that humans can use their intellect to make training fun. Brain over Brawn! His methods are very effective. Of course, positive reinforcement won't ALWAYS work even with the most diligent trainer, but neither will negative reinforcement. In the end, I'd rather have a partially-untrained dog who still likes me than a partially-untrained dog who is afraid of me! Although he does teach techniques, Dunbar's most important (implicit) message is that it wouldn't hurt to look at things from your dog's point of view.
P.S.: Ian Dunbar (PhD, BVetMed, MRCVS, CPDT) is a veterinarian, animal behaviorist, dog trainer, and writer. He is held in the highest regard by animal behaviorists worldwide.
