Training Dogs: A Manual

Delivered quickly and as described.

Konrad Most uses many methods that were not yet codified in the behavior modification literature. As a result, "compulsion" is apparently used for both negative reinforcement and for punishment. His section on retrieving can be ignored as it is better covered by William Koehler and Delmar Smith. However, his regular admonishments regarding anthropomorphizing in dog training are a valuable part of this book. He also gives useful information regarding tracking. Please note this book was written around the time of WW I and Konrad was not on our side.

My cousin trains therapy dogs and I have an Uncle who used to work for the author.

Clear and easy to read print but several pages coming lose from binding. See photos

A book who was writing before 100 years from a man who has a gift gor this kind of work with dogs.

An older reference that helps with the history of training

A great book on great methods for dog training. Might be hard to follow if you don't have muck experience training.

It is an excellent book on the subject of training your dog. It is actually a must read for any serious dog owner

Brought to accompany a module at college, interesting book to see how training has changed over time.

I think this book deviates from the true publishing of konrad most however I think that this book is still a very good read and very interesting to say the least especially to dog owners who are new to training.

A bit dated

very good

nice
