Sheila’s excellent at explaining what positive reinforcement training is all about. The most valuable aspects of this book for me were the first chapters talking about the principles of training. There’s a great description of the Premack Principle.
I read it whenever I get discouraged about positive training. |

| Finally, a book that proves that competition behaviors can be taught positively and still effectively. This book is very thorough and although it uses technical terminology at times, the author makes sure that the terms are well explained, so that even a beginning trainer can benefit. If you like this one, you'll also love 'Schutzhund Obedience: Training in Drive'. |

| I read this book from cover to cover when I got it home. I couldn't put it down! I knew a lot of the information in it but this book straightened everything out for me. After training my dog for 2 years and receiving a non-qualifying score in 10 straight shows, I bought this book. We now qualify regularly with our scores getting higher with each entry. When I read you need to repeat exercises 1,000 times before the dog gets it (in Novice, Open, Utility) I understood that it wasn't the dog's fault, but the owner needed to learn a thing or two! |
