Today, most K9 trainers understand the advantages of non-compulsive
training methods for teaching aggression control. When Stephen
Mackenzie started his career training police service dogs, trainers
relied on pain to teach dogs what was expected of them, and
motivation was limited to their love of biting on one hand and
their desire to avoid painful consequences on the other. The idea
that aggressive dogs could learn in non-compulsive ways was slow to
take root but is now widely accepted. In this completely revised
and updated edition, Mackenzie describes several different
approaches for training dogs in aggression control and teaching
them to release the decoy without using compulsion. He explains in
detail the use of the muzzle, the self out, and various toys and
games, so trainers can use the techniques they prefer. Advice for
decoys on controlling the dog's excitement level and the use of
equipment to help the trainer are also included.

decoy needs. Read dogs accurately through seven key factors.
