	Canine Ergonomics: The Science of Working Dogs by William S. Helton Traditionally, information concerning working dogs is mostly hearsay, with the exchange of information informal at best and non-existent at worst. Most books available are too general in coverage or conversely, too specific.

This book, drawing on cutting edge research, unifies different perspectives into one global science.

It is easy to read and follow, while guiding the reader through a simple process for teaching correct obedience form. Problem solving techniques are also well covered. An excellent introduction to positive reinforcement pet training and helpful beginnings for canine sports.
