The social bond between people and dogs dates back thousands of years, although no one really knows exactly when we began domesticating them. Early in our relationship canines were primarily protectors who would guard the camp or home and alert the fighters if someone approached. Over the years people developed ways to teach their dogs all sorts of things from the typical set of common ‘tricks’ to useful job skills like herding cattle or sheep and even life changing skills to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Considering how important dogs are in our lives today, it is rather surprising that we have so little reliable documentation on our history with them and especially the various methods we had developed for training canines.
At one point, dog training was primarily harsh punishments and minimal rewards. Generally, this method was effective, but at times it could make an animal mean or worse, break that animal’s spirit. Plus, it was never very good on the trainer either.
