Dr. Pryor's background was marine training and learned how effective marking wanted behavior and giving rewards to the dolphins helped them learn faster and were more consistent in giving the desired behavior. She translated what she learned into a great book that will help anyone train using positive reinforcement and clickers. Must read!

Pros: Easy to read, follow and understand the concepts of positive reinforcement training

Cons: none

I love Karen Pryor. She is such an amazing trainer, it is a shame that more people don't know about her and her methods. Clicker training is so great and the book shows not only how to begin clicker training, but why it works.

Pros: Give a new perspective on our behavior

Cons: slow read, sometimes.

My Vet recommended this book to me and I liked it a lot. Very easy concepts. A lot of it seemed liked common sense to me, but some might find it enlightening.

Pros: Easy to understand

Cons: None

This is a "must read" book for anyone training dogs and especially those using clicker training. Shoot, it's a good book for "training" kids and spouses as well but don't tell them that.

Pros: Excellent intro to training methods and clicker training

Cons: Could include more specific training methods

I believe training is something that is different for each dog. i have read many different dog training books and have to say that these methods are pretty good.

Pros: some great training methods

Cons: not all methods work for all dogs
