BOOKS & MORE: The Modern Service Dog Training

"BITE!", that's what many people imagine as the main function of a service dog. Thirty years ago, that might have been true, but in today's times, service dogs are highly specialized companions who rarely ever bite. Training such a dog requires a lot of knowledge. This is what is offered to you in the book "The Modern Service Dog Training." Let's take a look inside.

Right from the table of contents, it becomes clear that the training of a service dog begins in the first weeks of its life.

The requirements for the dog are clearly communicated to you. While reading, we quickly realized that the author Karl-Heinz Klöpper has a lot of knowledge about what he is writing.

To determine the suitability of a future service dog, even the smallest ones must undergo an assessment. It's never too early to start.

A very interesting section, even for all dog owners and those who simply want to understand dogs better, is about the learning behavior of dogs. The simple formula "carrot and stick" only works to a limited extent.

At the end of the book, the requirements for highly specialized service dogs are discussed and how they are trained. There is also a section at the end about the positive and negative stress that awaits the four-legged trainee during training. The latter should, of course, be avoided.

CONCLUSION: The book "The Modern Service Dog Training" offers you well-founded and practice-oriented expertise on training a dog to become a service dog. Also suitable for laypeople in the field of dog training. A SPARTANAT reading recommendation.
