| Great, some minor errors in terminology, January 16, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Christine Lee, CPDT |
I love this book. It is well-presented and clear enough for the average pet owner. I recommend this book to all my clients and students.
So why 4 paws instead of 5? Minor terminology errors. In the Chapter 5 lesson plans, the author frequently states that the dog should be reinforced for certain behaviors. Organisms are rewarded, behaviors are reinforced.
Also, the author claims that luring is a way to elicit the behavior. Luring is operant in nature, elicit is a respondent term; elicit doesn't apply in the operant context. Operant behavior is emitted.
Again, these are minor errors that could be easily fixed in the next edition. It's still an amazing book! |

| Reviewer: E.v. Noechel |
| This book is a great beginning for anyone interested in clicker training or just good training in general. Simply stated and concise, it's also great for those who don't feel like reading a massive tome, but want to jump right into the hands on exercises. This book was my introduction to clicker years ago, and I've been a fan ever since! |
