Saint Bernard Dogs For Family Pets

Saint Bernard dogs are large dogs and they can be short hair or long hair dogs.  Consider a Saint Bernard dog if you have room for a large dog.  They are an intelligent, gentle breed.  These dogs are very obedient and since they are such strong dogs, they have been used many times in rescue operations.

Dog Sense: How the New Science of Dog Behavior Can Make You A Better Friend to Your Pet

From explaining why positive reinforcement is a more effective (and less damaging) way to control dogs’ behavior than punishment to demonstrating the importance of weighing a dog’s unique personality against stereotypes about its breed, Bradshaw offers extraordinary insight into the question of how we really ought to treat our dogs.

Publishers Weekly
“Bradshaw…offers an alternative to conventional, dominance-based approaches to understanding dogs (Cesar Milan’s methods, for example) in an informative…guide to how canine biology and psychology determine behavior…. Bradshaw’s book is useful to those looking to further their understanding of dog behavior and clarify common misconceptions.”
