This book has become almost mandatory reading for anyone serious about training. Karen Pryor’s clear and entertaining explanation of behavioural training methods made Don’t Shoot the Dog! a best selling classic. Now this revised edition presents more of her insights into animal and human behaviour. A ground breaking behavioural scientist and dynamic animal trainer, Karen Pryor is a powerful proponent of the principles and practical uses of positive reinforcement in teaching new behaviours. Here are the secrets of changing behaviour in pets, kids – even yourself – without yelling, threats, force, punishment, guilt trips…or shooting the dog. The book covers: - The principles of the revolutionary “clicker training” method, which owes its phenomenal success to its immediacy of response – so there is no question what action you are rewarding.
- 8 methods of ending undesirable habits – from furniture clawing cats to sloppy roommates.
- The 10 laws of “shaping “ behaviour – for results without strain or pain through “affection training”.
- Tips for house-training the dog, improving your tennis game, or dealing with an impossible teen
- Explorations of exciting new uses for reinforcement training.
Learn why pet owners rave “this book changed our lives” and how these pioneering techniques can work for you too.
