Books on positive traing. - Page 2

 i put all these names on youtube to try to see them actually handling a dog but there is nothing except for Ivan Balabanov

Ivan's "Obedience Without Conflict" is good.

Godfrei's "Schutzhund, Training In Drive"

I have issue with Culture Clash because the individual(trying to be nice) bashes trainers who do not agree with her.  Which, is wrong, in my opinion.

Good luck with all positive training........

But remember to define your definition of "positive"....Do you mean no physical corrections at all?  Do you plan to use "negative punishment?  IE, removing something that the dog wants?  Food, ball, toy, etc....

Again, good luck.

 a friend of mine suggests Joanne Fleming or Debbie Zappia 

it probably depends on what your goals are but i highly recommend kayce cover's syn alia training system (sats @ www.synalia.com) it's great, based on respect & developing 2 way communication. for quick, easy and great for bonding ian dunbar's method (though most people misunderstand his use of food)  dunbar, imo, is especial good for early puppy training (though sats is also great for puppies). to get some idea about dunbar he has some free pdf articles at http://www.siriuspup.com/behavior_problems.html#  i really like charles eisenmann intellectual method  though his books are no longer in print. i also have the monks, and donaldson and recommend them as well.   i thinking reading a number of different methods is a good idea but everyone is different so choosing one and learning it thoroughly might be more your style.  i've read some about clicker training and paul owen "the dog whisper" (the original:)  is a really good guy but i'm not really a clicker person:) so can't recommend others because i don't know their work.  i also recommend checking out http://www.dogstardaily.com/ it has a videos, blog discussions, articles, and 'top ten favorites' lists which might be helpful.

I can highly recommend "Don't shoot the dog" by Karen Pryor. It is a good book to understand how dogs learn.

Qoute:

"Most of the people that engage in SchH use aversives or at the best chance they are only partly positive".

This is just not true.  Maybe 15-20 years ago, but modern dog training has evolved even in Schutzhund.

You can find trainers that use aversives in any venue.

That said, I do believe at some point a dog will need an adversive--not limited to a physical correction, but like other posters have said--negative punishment, witholding reward etc.

I recommend Jenny McConnell and Ian Dunbar for all that awesome puppy stuff
