One of the most popular books on dog training ever published. This book has been the choice of thousands seeking expert instruction in dog training. When the complexities of modern living demanded that, for his own protection as well as his master's convenience, the dog be made controllable, the average owner sought advice from the most available source, which was, too often, some local dog-show exhibitor. Not realizing that, excepting a few praiseworthy individuals, these exhibitors were only superficially concerned with the qualities of use and companionship, an unfortunate dog owner would accept the sight of trophies or ribbons as the credits of an expert. Growing numbers of people and dogs continued to emphasize the advantages of proper dog-behavior and when, in 1935, The American Kennel Club instituted its obedience trials, the competition necessary to focus attention on results and improvement of methods was provided. And something else was observed. It was evident that thorough obedience training does more than assure a dog's response to his master's command; capacities for learning and emotional stability could be increased and integrated as permanent qualities of character.
