Expanded Description:
One of our best selling teaching and training books. Not exclusively a dog training book - author is famous as an early dolphin trainer. Outlines 8 methods for putting an end to all kinds of undesirable behavior without yelling, threats, force, punishment, guilt trips - or shooting the dog! The 10 laws of shaping behavior through affection training; how to combat your own addictions to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, overeating or whatever; how to deal with such difficult problems as a moody spouse, an impossible teen, or an aged parent; PLUS housetraining the dog, improving your tennis game, keeping the cat off the table, and much, much more! This latest edition has an additional chapter, "Clicker Training, A New Technology." This covers the use of clickers in dog training, why it works, and how it has caught on. There is little or no practical application here, so we recommend Karen's Clicker Training Start-up Kit (DTB503) or Clicker Training for Dogs (DTB622). This book is the theory!
Whatever the task, whether keeping a four-year-old quiet in public, housebreaking a puppy, coaching a team, or memorizing a poem, it will go faster, better, and be more fun if you know how to use reinforcement. -- Karen Pryor

| I read this book at the beginning of my 'dog career' 6 years ago and just recently re-read it. What a great refresher, even for a seasoned Trainer. With so many things to remember as a Trainer, there are times the smaller things escape your memory. Generally the most simple of things. What a great tool to have on hand, a quick read and a great way to wake up the little things in the back of your mind that you know are there, but you've maybe put up on the shelf because you don't use them as often. |

| Best Training Book EVER!, January 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Sarah Walker |
| I loved this book so much. Although I already used positive methods, this book really opened my eyes to exactly why they are so effective. This book is not just for dog trainers or owners, either. If you live with or interact with any other living being, you need to read this book. It explains how we learn things, and why we act the way we do in certain situations. I find endless ways to apply this knowledge every day. |

| Best book on training theory!, January 7, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Erin |
This book is full of scientific information relating to training/learing theories. If you don't quite believe that positive reinforcement works- read this book. It gives a fair explaining of multiple training theories and goes into depth in how they can be used. Don't Shoot The Dog is not just a book on dog training, its information can be used on any species, whether human, whale, hamster, cat, or parakeet.
It's slightly harder to read if you want to read it all at once. But it's great to pick up and read any time you have a chance. I HIGHLY recommend this book- especially to any wannabe trainers. |
