Discover the groundbreaking new training book, Dog Training Decoded by Simon Prins.

Dog Training Decoded is a story about bridging the gap between trainers, dog handlers and scientists. It’s about real-life operations, about failure and success. It’s about discovering the value of collecting and analysing data, and how to draw on scientific research. It is a manual on how to train dogs, but it will also give you new insights into training and behaviour and – perhaps the biggest challenge of all – it will help you to motivate trainers and handlers to work with positive reinforcement and to discard punishment as a means of changing behaviour.

In Dog Training Decoded, Simon investigates:

• The power of conditioning
• The learning process, and overcoming problems within it
• Motivation and stimulation
• Problem behaviour
• Working with training protocols
• What makes a good trainer?
