Dominance: separating fact from fiction.
The nature vs. nurture debate.
Fixed action patterns in dog behavior.
How to use classical conditioning in dog training.
How the owner’s personality affects the dog’s behavior.
Are you a dog mom—or dad?
Jean treats every conceivable problem a dog might have…at both a practical and theoretical level. You will know what to do, and why you should do it, covering both major methods of training – operant conditioning and classical conditioning. In a book centered on the behavior of dogs, an unexpected treat are the nuggets of neurotransmitters and genes. In a few lucid strokes, Jean brings you up to date on these timely subjects. If you find yourself with a free afternoon, you might drive to the nearest college, and take a final in advanced psychology, and gain credits toward your graduation!David Premack, Ph.D., author, Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania
