Barking Up the Right Tree

by Dr Ian Dunbar

Barking Up the Right Tree places the relationship between dog and owner at the centre of training. Its science-led, reward-based perspective helps explain why good training is not simply about obedience, but about making desired behaviour understandable and worthwhile for the dog.

It suits readers who want to understand the thinking behind modern training as well as the practical application. The result is a useful guide for building clearer communication, calmer habits and a more cooperative life together.

This is an editorial overview to help you decide whether the book suits your needs.
