Teaching Dogs: Effective Learning is the second in a series of ebooks that present collected essays by author and dog trainer Eric Brad. Previously published for an online magazine, these essays have been been put together on the theme of how and why we train our dogs. Training our dogs has evolved mostly out of necessity and science has not had much to do with it. Over the past 40 years, dog trainers have become familiar with behavioural science pioneered by Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, and others and a new kind of dog training is emerging. These essays offer a look into the author’s journey from more traditional methods of dog training to a more modern, scientific approach. It is a journey filled with delightful surprises, frustrations, and a lot of learning. Each essay is introduced by the author with some insight on its inspiration and how it came to be written. The book also includes all new Introduction and Epilogue essays that highlight the thematic nature of the book and discuss the larger concepts that the author tries to cover.

If you are thinking of buying a puppy or adopting a rescue dog, if you have a dog that has started biting or fighting, or if you would just like to further your knowledge of dog behaviour and training, Dogs that Bite and Fight provides a complete understanding of why pet dogs become biters and fighters, how to prevent it and how to change the behaviour, including training methods that owners can use with their own pets. David Ryan was a police dog handler and instructor for twenty-six years. He cut his teeth on dogs that bite and fight, teaching them how to moderate and direct aggression proportionately. He qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling, and his hands-on up-close manipulation of canine aggression was a useful grounding when he transferred his skills to dealing with pet dogs as one of the UK's leading canine behaviourists.
