The 29 chapters cover everything the beginning or advanced trainer needs to know about concepts and details that confront the working dog trainer in day to day training sessions
book Mr. Patterson discusses training theory from the viewpoint that the theory isn't that much different from years ago. The real different is the application of the theory. Here is where the dynamics of modern dog training have made a large leap from the early days. In the past, genetics drove training, qualification for service work and sport competition. While genetics are still important, the greatest advance has benen in understanding the needs of the individual dog and adjusting training to meet those needs. This was rarely done only a few years ago and then only by the best trainers. So how do we incorporate these new ideas into a good training program? Training the Behavior gives Patterson's view of all three steps: Know the theory of dog training; Know your dog and understand the challenge; Have a training plan. Laminated cover soft bound with 150 photographs and illustrations.
