Dog Training and Behaviour is a book that looks beyond the basic training of a dog to the complex workings of a dog's mind. Author John Cree sets out to explain how understanding each dog, its owner and their particular situation can lead to a more successful training relationship. The art and importance of communicating, guidance in the use of inducements and the application of authority along with safety and reliability are fully detailed. The understanding and development of training routines and the analyses of these routines are given in-depth treatment. This book will be of great interest to those interested in training their own dogs and to the instructors and behaviourists who wish to develop a greater understanding of our canine companions.
