"Haney's Art of Training Animals" by W. H. Burroughs is a practical guide on animal training, likely written in the late 19th century. The book provides comprehensive instructions for breaking, taming, and training various types of animals, with a focus on horses and dogs, as well as performing circus tricks. It serves as a resource for both amateur and professional trainers interested in learning the methods for educating animals in a variety
of contexts." "The opening of the guide sets the tone by outlining the intended purpose of the book and its structured approach to training animals. Burroughs emphasizes the importance of understanding animal behavior, highlighting the distinctions between instinct and reasoning in animals. He introduces key principles of successful training, which include patience, kindness, and appropriate reward techniques, rather than using force. The exposition also discusses how trainers can leverage animals' reasoning capabilities and instincts to teach complex behaviors effectively, providing a foundation for the subsequent detailed methodologies presented in the chapters that follow."
