| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The dog is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. Dogs have been trained to perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and aiding handicapped individuals. This book studies various modes of dog training like positive reinforcement and compliance. These training methods help develop the cognitive and physical abilities of dogs, and make them useful for human service and entertainment.
