Product Details

Product Description

"How Dogs Learn", Burch & Bailey, @1999, Howell Books

Most had an understanding of operant conditioning years before Skinner. He used his voice the way we use clickers today.


Sheila Booth, Author of "Purely Positive Training"

Most's methods seem archaic in this enlightened age of positive training but his theories were years ahead of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Modern Dog Trainers, May 13 2002
By "cavaliburgh" (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews
Konrad Most is famous worldwide for his theory and principles of dog training which is still used widely today, even though many dog training methods has changed, the principles are still very much the same. This book is excellent for those that wish to learn more about their dogs and those that are studying the principles of how to train a dog. Col. Konrad Most is also known as the father of modern dog training and understanding his philosophy of dog training would be very beneficial for those that are keen in such discipline.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Psychological Cornerstone In Dog Training & Behaviour, May 9 2002
By SGT Grant Teeboon (Ipswich, Queensland Australia) - See all my reviews
I have been a Police Dog Handler with the Australian Air Force for over 23 years and this book still remains my bible. Other training books tell you 'how', this book explains the 'how' AND the 'why'. The fact that it was written so long ago misleads a lot of people into thinking it may be out of date.... It's no more out of date than the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Other new age training methods may come and go but the methodology described by Konrad Most has been taken up by many others like William Koehler and is still used in over 90% of Police & Service Dog agencies around the world.

I highly recommend this book to any professional trainer or enthusiast who wishes to really understand the psychological principles behind how and why a dog works. By understanding these techniques you will be able to look at other less efficient methods and see why they fall short when it comes to speed, reliability of response and the ability of a dog to work at peak performance under duress situations.
