BehaveTech Publishing, Ottawa Canada, has released an applied–behaviorology book by James O’Heare. With the title, The Science and Technology of Dog Training, this soft cover, 243–page, 8–chapter book covers basic through advanced strategies, principles, and techniques in added (positive) reinforcement–based dog–training methods. Covering far more than just the basics, this book adheres to natural science and leaves out the fads and proprietary one–true–way systems. An ethical framework supports comprehensive training of common behaviors to a high degree of fluency. Also, the book builds mastery of advanced techniques for training more complex behaviors, and would be a good reference for established professional trainers as well as for those becoming skilled professionals. About this book, the author says, “my general objective is to provide a solid foundation in the science of behavior, including the proper scientific terminology, and to apply that science to the technology of dog training, providing guidance on basic through to advanced training principles, strategies and procedures.” Priced at $24, this book (ISBN 978–1–927744–00–0) is available from the main distributor, Dogwise, at 800–776–2665. You can also order at their website (www.dogwise.com) or the other usual online sources. For a photo of the book’s cover, see the BOOKS page.
