Am not much of a reader and am not a horse person - have no desire to own a horse, but love watching horse videos and thinking about how to use the info to help with dog training - Steve Young (pain is the worst motivator, make your idea the horse's idea - works mostly with dangerous horses), Free Spirit Equestrian who gets nice horses from auctions, works with them for years to give them a great start in a very positive way, then rehomes them, and Horse Plus - they just went to Washington DC to help change the laws for horses for the better. They also mentor other rescue groups to help people work together to get more horses out of the shelter pipeline. Hope that helps.
It focuses on why the dog does the behavior before trying to fix the problem. Focuses on breed of dog and genetics. Based on the L.E. G.S model. L(learning);E(environment);(G (genetics) and S. (self). If you Google "the Dogs Truth Trailer", you will get a taste of what the program is all about. The book goes over the same information. I highly recommend it. If you are interested I can let you know how to get access to full movie. I have a free coupon code . @@dr.melanieuhde
Dr, i want to ask you, but, not totally related to this vid. For the more difficult dog situations because the dog is distracted from listening or even hearing you at times ..... isn't the sense of smell the highest level of input even above sight ?? And couldn't that be a way to sort of attract dog to your requests when they are zoned out or zoned in to something else. NOTE..... I DON'T MEAN FOOD.....I an thinking of odors we don't fully understand such as female-in-heat or other dogs scents markings. If we could Marshall scent into our dog tools ??
Yes. Dr. Ian Dunbar DVM, Ph.D. discussed use of scent in his training books more than 40 years ago. For example, when a dog is excited and barking inappropriately, Dr. Dunbar recommended the use of smelly liver treats. When the dog barked and wouldn't stop, Dr. Dunbar would place the treat right under the dog's nose. The dog would sniff and momentarily stop barking, and Dunbar said, "Quiet! Good dog!" and initiated a pattern of variable reinforcement, reducing the use of treat, and transitioning to praise. There is also a branch of training called Scent training, applicable to tracking, finding explosives, drugs, or lost people.

The talent code is another excellent source for train the dog and the trainer.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Sapolsky!
Yeah he is a unique character :)
One of my favorite books is “The Dog’s Truth” by Kim Brophey.
