This book is what you need to know before you train a dog.
Traditional dog training jumps much too quickly into the hands on part
of training. The truth is the what to do is far easier and success
happens much faster when a dog owner learns how their dog sees the
world, how it determines who is the teacher and who is the student.
With this information there is no need for treats, no need to teach
geometric patterns around pylons, how to stay for a few seconds while
being stared at. These things do not keep dogs off the kitchen table
or our guests. If you want a dog that truly comes when it's called,
heels on a loose leash no matter what, knows how to meet people and
much more this is the place you should start. It's a short easy read
and will be the best money you'll ever spend on your dog.

Here's a chapter:

My interest in dog training springs from a passion I’ve always had
for animal behavior overall. That interest stems from an
ethologist’s perspective rather then the clinical approach that has
become so common in dog training. An ethologist is interested in the
workings of animals without the hand of man. How do they structure
their social groups? How do they maintain that structure? I find this
fascination whether it’s dogs or dingoes, elephants or emus.

A few decades ago I went to watch a few dog training classes and I
witnessed which from the perspective of an ethologist was the most
puzzling of things. What I saw was dogs being taught to do things like
geometric patterns around pylons, to sit and stay for not much more
then a few blinks of an eye, and other things at standards that seemed
unlikely to be of any use in the real world.

Almost always the motivation was for a food treat. This was not only
unlikely in the natural world, it was impossible and contrary to
everything I’d learned about how creatures like wolves, apes, even
humans learned. I didn’t see anything that would keep a dog off the
kitchen table, from jumping on guests or to actually walk past another
dog or squirrel on the street, the sort of practical things dog owners
want their dogs to do. So I started asking people I knew that owned
dogs that were; let’s say a tad unruly, whether they’d considered
training. With very few exceptions they had all been to a formal
training class at one time or another.

If anything things have gotten worse rather then better. Take a
stroll in an average neighborhood in any city in North America during
the dog walking hours and you'll see an awful lot of dogs pulling on
the leash. After your stroll, try knocking on the door or ringing the
doorbell of pretty much any dog owner on the block and wait to hear
what happens. What do you hear? Usually mad barking, a few shouts of,
“Somebody is at the door! Get the dog! Put the dog in the yard/the
crate/the bathroom!” The same dog often gets underfoot on stairways
and in the kitchen, jumps on people, gets on the furniture uninvited,
doesn’t come when called, or stay put when asked unless it’s for a
few brief seconds. Any ability to exert self-control in these
situations typically lasts as long as it takes to scarf down a treat.

The irony is that the vast majority of these dogs have been to a
formal dog training program and if what their dog owners were taught
to do was correct there are a lot of special needs dogs and dog
owners. The truth is though that most of what dog owners are taught to
do is not correct and much of what they’re told to do is
unnecessary. 

It has been my experience that most dog owners don’t want to end
up with “Lassie”, they just want a reasonably civilized companion
and that due to the sheer numbers of dogs that are not coming out of
training classes with useful skills there has to be something wrong
with the methodology and not the dogs or dog owners.
