Illustrated.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nTopics include: What a livestock protection dog can do, Selecting a puppy, Caring for your dog, Behavioral problems and solutions, preparations for a family companion, guarding unusual stock, older dogs, puppy temperament testing and training. Plus much more\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nPlease be aware that this older title may recommend some training techniques that are now considered outdated. At the time of publication, the use of negative reinforcement and positive punishment was more widely used to teach certain types of behaviors, especially with dogs who display a high degree of resilience. We encourage owners to always use the least intrusive, minimally aversive methods possible. \n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Sims, Orysia Dawydiak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dogwise Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617812521\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dogwise Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39827707068531,"sku":"9781617812521","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_40c76776-7ce0-45aa-8f34-f470316f47f1.jpg?v=1644574781","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/livestock-protection-dogs-selection-care-and-training-9781617812521","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
