This book is written with the best interests of dogs in mind. I believe it is time to go beyond training dogs and start teaching them how to please us. Assuming that dogs are capable of reasoning and simple problem solving, i feel dogs need not be trained as if they were merely simple stimulus response mice.The teaching methods presented in this book encourage and cultivate dogs’ cognitive abilities. I believe dogs learn by trial and error. As a result, the dogs do not fear disappointment and are trained to exercise alternatives in a quest for the desired behavior. The concept that wrong is wonderful when training dogs is fresh to the domain of competitive dog trainers.
