Bob and Marian Bailey - the grandparents of modern day operant
conditioning. (Marian Baily, Ph.D was B.F. Skinner's second graduate student. She became

worked on the WW2 project PELICAN, where pigeons were trained to guide bombs. Marian
clicker trained her first dog in 1943!) Bob was the US Navy's dolphin project's first

Jean Donaldson has, in my opinion, written the Bible of Dog
Training it is called The Culture
Clash. Jean also has a CD about dog training and is planning a sequel to
Culture Clash for release in Nov. 1998.
If Jean Donaldson has written the best dog book the Kong Kompany has made the best dog toy.

don't know how to use it, you need to visit this site. Be sure to go their How to
Use it Page.
