OH BEHAVE! DOGS FROM PAVLOV TO PREMACK TO PINKER by JEAN DONALDSON Jean Donaldson brings her considerable wisdom - and wit - to a wide variety of topics of interest to dog trainers and enthusiasts in her latest book. In 55 essays, Jean tackles issues ranging from the nature vs nurture debate, to the role of dominance in domestic dogs, to what are the most effective ways to train dogs. You will note a number of themes that flow throughout the book. Jean is a firm believer in conducting scientific research (verifiable results) rather than forming opinions based on gut feel or taking an anthropomorphic view of dog behavior. Along with her other best selling books, Oh Behave! is destined to be a classic in the literature on dog behavior. CLICK HERE TO BUY THIS BOOK!
