This is a wonderful guide to clicker training; not just to using the clicker, but to the whole philosophy and technology of marker-based training. This book will help you get good at working from the doga??s perspective, breaking things down into small units, training with your brains instead of with punishment, using a high rate of reinforcement because thata??s the best communication tool you have, using what the dog likes to reinforce behavior you like, and lots, lots more. The author is a good writer, witty and perceptive, and her highly responsive bull terriers (impossible dogs!) are living proof that shea??s really onto something. I bet you cana??t open to a single page without going a??Oh! I want to try that!a?? Whether you have an a??untrainablea?? breed or not, herea??s how to build a beautiful relationship with kindness all the way.
