The wolf in sheep's clothing

Ranking, alpha position, dominance - these are the hotly debated topics in the dog scene. Günther Bloch has been observing free-ranging wolves in Canada and domestic dog groups for over 20 years and has thoroughly studied their language and family structure. From this, he was able to derive many insights for dog keeping, particularly how communication between humans and dogs works. His keys to dog training are motivation, positive reinforcement, and shaping behavior. But he also points out that clear boundaries must be set in the human-dog pack and that a stable hierarchy is essential. The core of the book is based on ethological and psychological findings and extensively covers the learning behavior of dogs.
