FEATURED CANINE
LINK:
[ Top
]
--------------------------------------------
The Link of the Week aims to help you improve your dog's skills, behavior and activities,
with occasional special features on other topics of interest for working dog owners. No
matter your breed, sports or training interest, the link should be worthwhile.
-----
A trainer's honest insights
ROMANCING THE COOKIE
The
commitment to using positive training with dogs can lead to a substantial dependence on
the use of food rewards -- what this author calls "romancing the cookie." In
this Featured Canine Link, you will discover what one trainer found out about
positive and negative reinforcement, food treats, keeping a dog's attitude high -- and how
dog performance and dolphin performance are truly quite different.

EXTRA CANINE LINK -
ADVICE FROM "DOC" LOMBARD:
----
Love to learn dog training insights from the pros? We are pleased to offer as an
extra feature an article by Nancy Cowan on sled dog training ideas from Roland
"Doc" Lombard, one of the most famous sled dog racers of all time. Nancy draws
on the content of her new book, The Training and Racing Journals of Roland and Louise
Lombard," for an example or two of how Doc approached training challenges and dog
psychology. The article is published online in our Racing Siberian Husky Online section.

* * WONDERFUL DOG BOOKS! * *
---o0o---
Having Fun with Agility
By Margaret H. Bonham
--------------------------------------
We are pleased to feature a wonderful book that explores the increasingly
popular sport of dog agility, written by a well-known dog writer. Agility is the
fastest growing dog sport in America -- and this book introduces the fun and games of the
sport without all the high pressure aspects of competition. The book includes the use of
clicker training as part of agility training.

PUPPY SCHOOL:
Everything you need to know to raise the perfect pup
By Maggie Holt & Stella Sweeting
-----
The two authors of this new book together have more than 40
years of experience in dog training athletes, and the book uses a very appealing approach
filled with photographs. You have the opportunity to see exactly how a dog can be trained
for a specific skill or activitity. Often that skill is illustrated with three or four
photos, so you see each step along the way.
Dog behaviors addressed including such
things as bite inhibition and the command "watch me" to increase your dog's
attentiveness. There is emphasis on teaching dogs the right cue commands. For beginning
owners, there are the basics including getting your puppy used to being touched from head
to tail. Even long-time dog owners and trainers will find the book of interest, and
may find it a good book to recommend to new puppy owners.

book, just click

Big-Enough Anna: Little Sled Dog that
Braved the Arctic
By Pam Flowers & Ann Dixon
------------------------------------------------
Several summers ago, I had a chance to meet Pam Flowers and her
huskies during a trip to Alaska. Since then, WorkingDogWeb has featured her book on her
trip across the Arctic [Alone Across the Arctic] and now are delighted to
feature Big-Enough Anna, her children's story about Anna, the gutsy husky
puppy. Perfect for any child who likes animals and adventure, and for parents who love
reading to their youngsters.
