I just can’t say enough about clicker training as a reward-based method of training a dog — in fact, I can’t imagine even trying to train my retired racing greyhound by the old-fashioned methods, because the big sookie-baby would have curled up in terror if I tried to physically force him into position.
With clicker training, it was a breeze.
Strangers remark on what a well-behaved dog he is; and he’s just joined the therapy dog team! Even my brother-in-law’s Husky-mix “pound puppy” learned to walk politely on a leash — without pulling like the sled dog she was born to be — and the improvement in her manners came within 10 minutes of starting the training.
What a pleasure to see that Karen Pryor, the originator of clicker training for dogs, is now offering her books in a downloadable format!
ClickBooks will include new titles, old favorites, and a-la-carte positive training solutions that provide access to the information you want anytime, anywhere. You can purchase entire books for less than the price of a paperback, or individual chapters for only $1.99, which makes this the most convenient and cost-effective way to get training information from the experts.
ClickBooks are released in standard Adobe PDF format, so you can use them on any Windows PC or Macintosh computer, and with many portable devices, including Palm OS and Windows mobile phones and PDAs. Or, just print them out and read them like any other book! There’s no shipping, no waiting; just the best training information available exactly when and where you need it.
