DESCRIPTION:
"Excellent Service Dog Training Book & Precious Resource!" according to Susan Elizabeth Anderson. Teamwork II is a great book for training your own service dog. In fact, this book and it's predecessor are the only ones I have found on this topic. Using today's progressive positive reinforcement (operant conditioning) techniques to train dogs, this book is a priceless resource for those that can't use typical training methods to train their dog and need their dog to do more than typical sit, stay, and down. For those of us that can't run backward to teach our dog to come and need a dog that can dependa. Team Work 2 While I was visiting my local library the libraian happened to mention this book to me, noticing that my siezure alert dog is fairly young. He turned 2 at the end of May 2006 and is sometimes resistant to comands in public such as :"relax" or "down" which means lay down on the floor and wait quietly. So It ended up that I couldn't get the book from the library because it was more like a text book, I tried to get it from a local Barne's and Nobles but was told they couldn't guarantee delivery, so I turned . Pretty good I love this book. I'm currently owner-training my service dog. Even this book allows for small service dogs to do tasks. I would highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to get an idea how to train a dog & why dogs act the way they do + if you are looking to self train a service dog.
