How To Be A Concept Trainer
Tom Mitchell
 
Tom Mitchell, a qualified veterinarian surgeon and behaviourist, has developed a unique approach to training based on attaining an in-depth understanding of your dog and using concept training to facilitate learning.
 
He asks:
 
• Is your dog an optimist or a pessimist?
• Does he struggle with impulse control?
• Is he intolerant of frustration?
• Does he lack flexibility in the way he learns?
• Is he a thinker or a doer?
 
Tom has studied these issues, analysed the way dogs see the world, then designed games to help him make the ‘right’ choices. When these choices are rewarded and reinforced, they become natural and instinctive, thus changing the dog’s mental outlook and emotional balance for the better. This book It will enable you to shape your dog’s personality so that he can achieve his full potential.
