Dog Training Books


Recommended Posts

(have posted this in general also, apologies if that is not the done thing)

Hi,

I need urgently for an assignment information on Dog Training from years gone by. If I cannot get a book, a link to a web site or something, but it needs to give details similar to a book.

It needs to be based on negative reinforcement / negative punishment.

I am happy to buy or borrow and send it back. If you can help please let me know.

I think you've maybe got your operant conditioning terms a little mixed up, here is a link to help you sort them out:

I'm guessing that you actually want a book based on positive punishment? Koehler includes a lot of positive punishment in the form of check chain work, though I don't know if I'd say his method was actually based on punishment (e.g he tended to initially teach most exercises by using physical placement of the dog, praise and simple repetition). But if noone has any better suggestions, I guess I'd look for the Koehler Method of Dog Training at the local library.

Thanks Staranais, yes positive punishment. I am blonde and my brain is fried today (well a bit more than usual). I have tried library with no luck.
