Clicker Training for Obedience

Shaping top performance positively!

In this breakthrough book Morgan Spector shows you: how and why to use clicker training, the technology of operant conditioning and positive reinforcement used to train your dog. Whether you are starting off with a new puppy or headed for the Obedience ring, these step-by-step instructions will work for you. Morgan answers all the familiar questions about clicker training: "why can"t I just use my voice?", "what if the dog does not obey?" and "when can I stop using the food?".

He also shows you how to use clicker training not just to solve problems, but to avoid them in the first place. You will learn how you can use positive reinforcers, instead of force or punishment, to build reliable performance at every level of training.

If you just want a hassle-free, truly enjoyable companion dog, this book will show you how, even if you have never trained before. And if you have visions of going all the way to top scores and obedience championships with a happy, eager, positively trained canine partner - this is your travel guide for the whole journey.
