| Great book with good science and doable suggestion, January 20, 2013 |
| Reviewer: Donna Brinkworth |
I am a tracking coach, clinician and judge in Canada. I highly recommend this book and have promoted it to my friends and students. I picked up a copy last week at Chapters in Calgary. It is very current (2012) and has so many interesting ideas that I love to apply to my training and coaching. I was quite excited to see him write about the positives of tracking.
I have always said that tracking promotes a sense of self-esteem in a dog, as we encourage independence and the ability to solve problems and be in control. I have intuitively, and from experience, known for example that as my Border Collie pup Ben gets more focused on the job of tracking, he will grow less distracted and more confident. I can see this happening.
Hallgren writes that these things are integral to a dog’s mental well-being. Dogs that are always held in control and not given the ability to be creative and have some freedom of action and thought are usually far more stressed. In the book he talks about how the brain and body work, gives ideas about diet and supplements, and discusses a variety of activities that benefit our dogs’ well-being in social and home situations.
Regarding tracking, he writes (pp. 30-31): Positive stress occurs when a dog is excited about tracking, for example (with a photo of a dog tracking).
Thank you to the author for a positive book with many suggestions that are doable, and will make sense to both dog trainers and to the average pet dog owner too. I think all professional trainers should have this book. |
