9781608687718, $29.95 HC, $12.99 Kindle, 376pp

Barking Up the Right Tree: The Science and Practice of Positive Dog Training joins other books on the subject of canine management systems, but with a difference: it comes from a dog training expert who introduced his SIRIUS Puppy Training in 1982. It was a positive reinforcing approach that, at the time, was considered revolutionary. Now that positive reinforcement training is widely accepted, his new book presents yet another diversion to traditional thinking, arguing that the typical "reward/punishment" routines dog trainers adopt too often fail ... and Dr. Dunbar shows why. Readers seeking different training choices that embrace not just new routines, but an entirely different way of viewing behavior management in canines, will welcome Barking Up the Right Tree as a lesson in positivity thinking and training alike.
