• W870551387 abstract "The author of this book is a dog behaviorist, trainer, and star of the television program Dog Whisperer. He founded the Dog Psychology Center in California and the Millan Foundation to aid in the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs. This is one of 5 books he has written on raising and training “balanced” and well-behaved dogs. The purpose of this book is to present a variety of training options. It relies heavily on the input of other trainers and behaviorists to offer different methods which may appeal to different personalities and work in different situations.In the opening chapter Cesar gives some personal background that helps explain how he arrived at his current thinking and methods regarding dog training. He distinguishes between training a dog and rehabilitating a dog, and offers a list of rules for choosing a dog trainer, which begins with deciding what you want from your dog in the end (i.e., basic obedience, work, protection, etc.) and what methods suit your own philosophy. He considers training to be “answering to commands” (p. 30) and rehabilitating to mean creating a calm and confident dog that has the tools to react appropriately in social situations or be “comfortable in its environment and in its own skin” (p. 33).The following chapter emphasizes that what people require from their dog is a personal thing, but that one should always consider what the dog requires as well. He states his rules for a balanced dog, and gives some illustration of his three-part formula for balance: exercise (long structured walks), discipline (clear rules and boundaries), and affection (bonding and showing affection, which does not always mean treats!). Creating a balanced dog will ensure that training can be maintained in novel situations, and is thus the core of his philosophy. Several of his rehabilitation cases are used as examples of how unbalanced dogs can not function according to their training.One chapter is devoted to the history of dog training and the different theories that have evolved over time. A thorough background of operant conditioning, or reward and punishment training, is given with varying perspectives on training with rewards and clicker training. Cesar believes that it is often humans who benefit more from training, and gives 10 rules for people to follow when working with dogs, which include keeping calm, taking time and establishing proper bonds, using positive reinforcement, and being consistent.Several chapters are used to flesh out individual trainers’ philosophies and methods, ranging from how to train a dog “actor” to how to train off-leash. Cesar is forthright about how their approaches are different than his and about the criticisms that his methods have been subject to; for example, the use of the choke chain, which he admits has to be used properly to be humane and effective. He gives justifications for his methods and acknowledges the effectiveness of their methods, illustrating how he believes there is no one “right way” to approach all dogs and situations.A useful chapter gives Cesar’s rules for basic obedience training as well as instructions from other trainers in their methods. Basic training includes mastering a proper walk, coming when called, sit, down, stay, and stand. This last command arises from the belief that all commands should have a counter-command to release the dog from that action, which gives an owner control over situations until it is appropriate for the dog to relax. Throughout the book there are many useful tips on how to use treats as positive reinforcement, and how to phase them out, during training.This book offers many different perspectives on training in an even-handed entertaining fashion. A variety of further references are supplied for those interested in more information on behavior and training and the notes and index are useful. Because of its wide focus it could be a basic tool for dog owners, especially those with little training experience." @default.
