Hardback. Condition: Good. Publisher's note: Due to the age of Behavior Problems in Dogs, this printing was created from a scanned copy of the book. The result is the print quality is slightly reduced, but still very readable. All veterinarians and most dog owners should have this one Here is the book veterinarians refer to when solving challenging behavior problems. Correcting problem behavior begins with understanding what caused the problem in the first place. Problem solving includes understanding what is going on inside the dog's head and learning how human interactions can cause or worsen the problem. Humane, efficient, and effective ways of dealing with negative behaviors. Not only is Bill Campbell's Behavior Problems in Dogs a book for those who want to know what goes on in the problem pet's furry little head, it also explains how the owner's and/or other people's interactions with the animal may cause or worsen negative displays. Campbell then shows readers armed with these crucial basics the most humane and efficient ways to resolve those problem behaviors. In a world in which so many books focus far more on a particular training method rather than giving owners a solid understanding about why any negative behavior came about in the first place, this book remains a classic. Myra Milani, DVM Author Dogsmart . What Mr. Campbell has to say about the species canis is, in general measure, applicable to all our patients. Anything the animal doctor can do to know and predict the patient better is twise positive - it helps the diagnosis and protects the diagnostician. I highly recommend it to all veterinarians as well as to some of their clients. James H. Rosenberger, DVM Veterinary Economics Magazine.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. **Please note that Dogwise does not endorse all of the training methods used in this book; it is a historical document and an early example of modern dog training. Today's dog trainer can trace the roots of modern training to Training Dogs by Colonel Konrad Most. Written in Germany in 1910, Training Dogs influenced how both dogs and trainers were taught in Europe and the United States for the next 50 years It contains valuable and historically significant information, a true classic. 21st century trainers and behaviorists will find it amazing to realize that early in the 20th century Konrad Most was using and applying behavioral training principles with dogs long before B.F. Skinner Most also created systematic and scientific methods to teach trainers how to train dogs with his Theory of Training. While Most's methods may be viewed as harsh by modern dog trainers, the theory behind it was revolutionary for it's time and it is still applied today. Discover the roots of behavioral training Seeing the world from a dog's point of view. Utilizing instinctual behavior in training such as the prey drive. Use of compulsion and inducements. Use of primary and secondary reinforcers. Learn how Most Taught Obedience exercises including the recall, jumping and retrieving. Guard and schutzhund training. Reconnaissance and tracking; scent theory. Water work for hunting dogs. Dogs for the blind. Here is what today's dog trainers say about Training Dogs Most demonstrated an understanding of operant conditioning concepts such as primary and secondary reinforcement, shaping, fading and chaining 28 years before the publication of B.F. Skinner's The Behavior of Organisms. He differentiated between primary and secondary reinforcers. He used his voice and soft tones as secondary inducements, much the way some trainers use clicks today. Mary Burch & Jon S. Bailey authors of How Dogs Learn Although some of Most's methods seem archaic and harsh in this enlightened age of positive training, some of the theory he set forth was years ahead of its time. Knowing where training came from helps us appreciate where we are today. Sheila Booth author of Purely Positive Training and co-author of Schutzhund Obedience Training in Drive Konrad Most was a police dog, war dog and seeing-eye dog trainer in Germany for the first half of the 20th Century. He trained dogs in World Wars I AND II and created curricula for trainers. He was a researcher in the field of canine psychology and trained dogs for virtually every use during his long career.…
