Review title: yank 'em, jerk 'em, scare 'em half to death
Product review: Modern scientific training uses operant conditioning with positive reinforcement to produce dogs who are happy, eager, willing partners. Think about that and look at the photos of the German Shepherd who modeled for this book. See those pinned ears and rolled-back eyes? See how the trainer is knocking the dog off his feet with a strangle collar? Can you say "cruel and out-of-date"?If you want a pleasant family pet with good manners, work from Pat Miller's "The Power of Positive Dog Training." If you're training for formal obedience, try Morgan Spector's "Clicker Training for Obedience." Have a dog who's thrilled to cooperate with you -- not a dog who's too terrified not to.
