Linn's blog on animal behaviour and training

I am enthusiastic in-my-spare-time positive reinforcement trainer (in my non-spare time I work with text, layout and illustration www.linnahlbom.com). I am also fascinated by animal behaviour in general and aim to collect some of my thoughts and findings here. The topics will range from wild animal behaviour to how to teach your dog things. Enjoy! Videos of my own training can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/wyvern10?gl=GB&hl=en-GB

Book tip of the day - Barbera Handelman, Canine Behaviour

A book I want to buy when I have the money and space to store it :)

Barbera Handelman "Canine Behaviour - A Photo Illustrated Handbook"
http://www.dogwise.com/SearchResults.cfm?Search=Barbara%20Handelman&SubSearch=author

It is filled with great images that are a mix of photos of domesticated dogs interacting and wolfs interacting. Se this example below of "obnoxious submission" (read more about it on her blog):
