EDITOR ' S REVIEW | BOOKS , DVDs AND MORE
• What Is A Dog ? by Raymond Coppinger and Lorna Coppinger . “ If we are going to be effective trainers , it is important to understand the history , evolution , genetic predisposition , and behavioral tendencies of the dogs we work with . Coppingers ’ research into free-ranging populations of street dogs is brilliantly presented here and provides important insight into our domestic dog ’ s most recent ancestor , the free-ranging wild dogs around the world .”
“[ This book ] had a profound impact on how I viewed the dog , which then improved my training and working with owners . We learn lots about what reinforcement is , what consequences are , but often we overlook that there is a dog sitting there that has its own genetic history that made them what they are today . And that sometimes no matter how much training we do , there are limitations .”
