IMO it's kind of old school, I read it, I took some theories, just like I do with all authors, trainers, behaviorists, etc. I, myself, don't go by just one school of thought.
I think one of the original members of the monks, kind of broke off some of the theory behind them (someone may know more about that).
IMO, this is the best behaviorist, author that I have read, and used in my training of my Jasper.

Here is more on him

Just FYI, he is very different then Cesar Millan (some people don't like him), however I take some from him as well, I use what is best for my dog, abit of everything.
IMO I don't think there is one single text you could ever go by.
Good luck.
