Title: Do Not Buy This Book
Product review: I created a pure bred breed of Bulldog in the 1970's and followed the Koehler technique to the letter. It is all about correction and not communication and teamwork. I hate to remember the things I did to dogs under Koehler's direction. You start the training by presenting a sudden distraction to the dog and then you drop the 25' long line (holding its end loop to your chest) and then run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. The object is to flip the dog over backwards. I wonder how many dogs' neck vertebrate were permanently crippled doing this. To teach a difficult dog not to chew objects in the house Koehler recommends putting big pieces of the destroyed item in the back of the dog's mouth and then you tape the dog's mouth shut and leave them gagging for way too long. These are just 2 over the top examples of the Koehler Technique.I am lucky enough to have learned from some of the world's most gifted protection trainers and not one would use this outdated method.
