It gives insight into the core of the men who work in uniforms with dogs, the way they think, the dangers they face, and their remarkable day-to-day experiences. Their insight into the unknown world of dogs and the bond between human and animal is truly remarkable. What is striking is how they put things into perspective.

"Covering conceptual ideas on the intricacies of police dog culture, in the book he draws easy to understand comparisons. It's like nothing you would expect, and yet is everything that you wanted to know. It covers every minute detail of a K9 unit, and is written in such a fashion that I think it will have something to offer for years to come. For old and new, police and non-police alike, anyone who reads it will learn something, if not about police dogs then about their own dogs." -- Annalie Reid, Kempton Express Newspaper

Download or read book Dog Training for Managers written by Douglas C. Morgan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dog Training for Managers is a serious work of advocacy for the good, effective, and intentional leadership of all kinds of intelligent creatures. The best leadership practices are universal in philosophy and benefit both parties in the relationship. Dog Training for Managers is particularly well suited to anyone wishing to develop training skills useful to achieve the pleasures of an outstanding companion pet; through this study, you will actually improve your ability to lead any intelligent creatures you may want to lead in a responsible way. Presented as a wryly humorous three-part textbook that can be read sequentially or by chapter, Dog Training for Managers examines the best practices of human leadership in the workplace and applies them to the presumably less daunting task of training a canine follower. Part 1 presents core foundation topics such as definitions of terms, the roles appropriate for leaders to take with their followers, motivations, communications, value systems, and the tools of reward and reprimand. The approach is to observe the practices of effective human leaders, consider them in the abstract, and apply those same techniques to dog leadership activities. Part 2 offers practical applications beginning with the introduction of seven basic commands useful to leaders of humans and trainers of dogs alike. These basic commands are then used to develop a broad repertoire of reliable commands, custom-tailored to the agenda of the trainer. With the details of command techniques complete, the section closes by suggesting ways of directing that are far more effective than are commands alone. Part 3 addresses some ubiquitous advanced leadership challenges: adapting for socially complex situations, when and how to introduce change, and how to deal with personalities. Dog Training for Managers is a fun read that offers sage insights for leaders of all kinds.
