Book Report:
Training Dogs The Aussie Way - A practical guide for dog owners by the founders of the world's largest dog training company.

They present themselves as "Bark Busters Grand Master Dog Behavioral Therapists" but never use ANY scientifically "peer-reviewed" terms or cite any sources for their point of views. And what is a "Grand Master" beside a marketing gimmick anyway? Neither are there any references to ANY internationally recognized Association of Dog Trainers.

Author: Harrison Forbes
Binding: Hardcover

DOG TALK chronicles Harrison Forbes's life with dogs, from the first bond he formed as a boy with a Belgian Tervuren named Sabina, to the story of Lex, a police dog who attacked his owner’s wife, and was redeemed by Harrison’s intense love and respect for the breed.  Forbes also offers practical aspects of understanding and dealing with whatever type of dog the reader may have.  In DOG TALK, the pet owner will find fascinating insights into behavioral problems, as each chapter addresses a different situation or issue.

Here are some of Harrison's trademark insights into dog behavior and training:

*Energy management is the basis of behavior management : unwanted or aggressive behavior, is often the result of pent-up, frustrated energy

*Dog behavior should always be taken in context; a dog that is housetrained in its home isn't necessarily so everywhere else<
