5.0 out of 5 starsNew Knowedge of Dog Behavior
By Maureen Tauber on January 7, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This is an excellent foundation book for anyone interested in dog behavior and/or training. This book explains how dog training/testing/methods came about as a result of the war dog effort, and how criteria was established for selecting dogs, inheritability factors, etc. It truly is a must for any serious dog trainer.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorth its weight in gold
By www.rossallan.com on December 26, 2003
Format: Paperback
Without a doubt one of the most valuable books written, not only to the average dog owner but a MUST for the dog breeder and trainer. Pfaffenberger's work combined with Dr. Scotts and Fullers produced Guide Dogs for the Blind with a success rate of up to 98%.Any dog breeder or trainer who hasn't got this collection of incredible research in their library is really missing out. LOVE IT....LOVE IT....LOVE IT.

5.0 out of 5 starsLots of Practical Information
By Stacy Gardner on May 8, 2002
Format: Paperback
This book tells the story of Pfaffenberger's search to develop test for puppies to determine which would ultimately become good guide dogs. There are pearls of wisdom throughout this book. I have not seen info on issues he brings up before. Understand this is a story of what he went through but he discusses the science of dog behavior at that time and where his work went wrong and where it went right. Did you know it is best that hunting breeds be allowed to hunt even if they will do work where , if they hunt, it would be a detriment to the work. Allowing the hunting dogs to hunt for a season increased their success rate in these breeds. One might think this was counter-intuitive, but Pfaffenberger provides info to the contrary. I recommend this book for people who want even more detailed info on puppy tests and producing great working dogs.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery Interesting
By Erin on March 12, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
So much great information in this book. Being a dog trainer I loved learning where the information we use today comes from. It is well written and easy to follow with pictures and charts of data. If you like dogs and science this is a great and interesting read for you. If you are looking for basic how-to dog training this is not, however, the right book.

4.0 out of 5 starsQuick Read and Still Pertinent
By Dani on June 16, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Clarence had a way with dogs but took the extra step to understand them. This book is short but chock full of great insight regarding how our dogs interpret things. Although there are many 'new' methods of dog training, I still like understanding the "why" they do something or "how" to encourage the desired behavior from their perspective.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe New Knowledge O Dog Behavior
By Amazon Customer on November 30, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
this is really an older publication but so well done that it stands the the test of time. If you are an old hand with canines or just starting out it is a must read. The insights given and backed up by statistics and solid research are unquestionable and just make sense when you think about them.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Informative!
By cindy sanford on September 12, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Absolutely wonderful! I've seen bits and pieces of the research over the years, but reading how it all came about is fascinating! And it was done without computer programs, apps and all the modern conveniences :) Highly recommended for anyone interested in breeding or selecting dogs for a specific purpose.
