Download or read book Training Dogs written by Konrad Most and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Please note that Dogwise does not endorse all of the training methods used in this book; it is a historical document and an early example of modern dog training. Today's dog trainer can trace the roots of modern training to Training Dogs by Colonel Konrad Most. Written in Germany in 1910, Training Dogs influenced how both dogs and trainers were taught in Europe and the United States for the next 50 years! It contains valuable and historically significant information, a true classic. 21st century trainers and behaviorists will find it amazing to realize that early in the 20th century Konrad Most was using and applying behavioral training principles with dogs long before B.F. Skinner! Most also created systematic and scientific methods to teach trainers how to train dogs with his " Theory of Training." While Most's methods may be viewed as harsh by modern dog trainers, the theory behind it was revolutionary for it's time and it is still applied today. Discover the roots of behavioral trainingSeeing the world from a dog's point of view.Utilizing instinctual behavior in training such as the prey drive.Use of compulsion and inducements. Use of primary and secondary reinforcers. Learn how Most TaughtObedience exercises including the recall, jumping and retrieving.Guard and schutzhund training.Reconnaissance and tracking; scent theory.Water work for hunting dogs. Dogs for the blind.Here is what today's dog trainers say about Training DogsMost demonstrated an understanding of operant conditioning concepts such as primary and secondary reinforcement, shaping, fading and chaining 28 years before the publication of B.F. Skinner's The Behavior of Organisms. He differentiated between primary and secondary reinforcers. He used his voice and soft tones as secondary inducements, much the way some trainers use clicks today.Mary Burch & Jon S. Bailey authors of How Dogs LearnAlthough some of Most's methods seem archaic and harsh in this enlightened age of positive training, some of the theory he set forth was years ahead of its time. Knowing where training came from helps us appreciate where we are today. Sheila Booth author of Purely Positive Training and co-author of Schutzhund Obedience Training in DriveKonrad Most was a police dog, war dog and seeing-eye dog trainer in Germany for the first half of the 20th Century. He trained dogs in World Wars I AND II and created curricula for trainers. He was a researcher in the field of canine psychology and trained dogs for virtually every use during his long career.

Download or read book Baseball Boys written by MR Joseph T. Rector and published by Joseph Theodore\Rector T.. This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Simmons was the king of the middle school. Ike Stearn was every bit as athletic as Martin, but unlike him, Ike didn’t flaunt his abilities. Before long, a showdown came, but the end result of it wasn’t the development of a vicious rivalry. Instead, the two became close friends. Ike struggled with Martin’s constant demands on his time. He wasn’t strong enough to stand up to his friend, so he went along and silently held a grudge. He and Ike, however, shined their brightest on the baseball field. Whenever Martin needed help, he called Ike to summon his presence. Resentment grew in Ike as he played baseball because Martin expected him to. His dad’s demands concerning his baseball play fueled more controversy as the man tried to find glory through his son’s abilities. Ike harbored a secret interest—writing. He successfully joins the staff of the school paper and finds an outlet for his need to create. In their senior year, the boys reach the title game for the state baseball championship. Martin covets the MVP award, but it’s Ike who makes the plays and receives it. The two experience some icy moments in their relationship, but things settle when Martin is offered a baseball scholarship from powerhouse LSU. He sees the opportunity as the first step toward a professional baseball career. Ike tells his dad that he has earned an academic scholarship to Northwestern University, where he can study to become a writer. His dad understands the importance of writing to Ike and gives his blessing. Martin arrives at LSU and in storm trooper fashion takes on life in college. On the field Martin excels, and his reputation grows. Ike arrives at NU and meets Barbara Watkins, the editor of the college paper, and after submitting a sample of his writing, he lands a weekly column about the new experiences in a freshman’s life. Now a junior, Martin leaves school and waits for the professional draft.. He is drafted by the Chicago Cubs and assigned to the minor league affiliate in Sevierville, TN, half way across the state from his home in Bellevue. Martin meets Susie Sexton after his car runs into hers. He falls for her immediately, and the two begin dating. Their relationship blossoms, and when Martin is called up to the big leagues, he proposes to Susie. Ike graduates and accepts an offer to work for the Chicago Sun Times. He is given another assignment writing a column on activities in the Chicago area. An unwelcomed part of his job is covering the Cubs for the paper. Both men marry and life settles. The wives become close friends, and Martin and Ike develop a friendship with new boundaries. Martin is a successful major league ball player and crowd favorite. In his twelfth year of playing, he breaks his leg, and ensuing difficulties and infections lead to amputation. Ike becomes a favorite of readers in the Chicago area. He also sells short stories and then writes a best selling novel. Martin travels to spring training with the Cubs and is stricken with severe headaches, dizziness, and temporary paralysis. His doctor tells him that he suffers from a brain tumor and has little time left. He asks Ike to speak at his funeral and to tell the truth about him. After Martin’s death, Ike does speak. His next visits Wrigley field at night, where he pours Martin’s ashes at the base of the ivy-covered walls. Ike knows that his last act for his friend will be writing a book about his life.

Download or read book Even the Terrible Things Seem Beautiful to Me Now written by Mary Schmich and published by Agate+ORM. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best columns by the Pulitzer Prize–winning Chicago Tribune writer, on diverse topics like family, loss, mental health, advice, and the Windy City. Over the last two decades, Mary Schmich’s biweekly column in the Chicago Tribune has offered advice, humor, and discerning commentary on a broad array of topics including family, milestones, mental illness, writing, and life in Chicago. Schmich won the 2012 Pulitzer for Commentary for “her wide range of down-to-earth columns that reflect the character and capture the culture of her famed city.” This second edition—updated to include Schmich’s best pieces since its original publication—collects her ten Pulitzer-winning columns along with more than 150 others, creating a compelling collection that reflects Schmich’s thoughtful and insightful sensibility. The book is divided into thirteen sections, with topics focused on loss and survival, relationships, Chicago, travel, holidays, reading and writing, and more. Schmich’s 1997 “Wear Sunscreen” column (which has had a life of its own as a falsely attributed Kurt Vonnegut commencement speech) is included, as well as her columns focusing on the demolition of Chicago’s infamous Cabrini-Green housing project. One of the most moving sections is her twelve-part series with U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow, as the latter reflected on rebuilding her life after the horrific murders of her mother and husband. Schmich’s columns are both universal and deeply personal. The first section of this book is dedicated to columns about her mother, and her stories of coping with her mother’s aging and eventual death. Throughout the book, Schmich reflects wisely and wryly on the world we live in, and her fond observances of Chicago life bring the city in all its varied character to warm, vivid life.
