Although she does teach the scientific jargon which is important to know, the author explains learning theory in terms/analagies that the layperson can easily understand. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: webDogTrainer.com review, 2008-06-26 As a dog trainer this was one of the required reading materials when I first started at Guide Dogs for the Blind. I think it is a good idea to read many different kinds of training guides as I find myself using positive only training methods. -Julie the online dog trainer from www.webDogTrainer.com 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Don't Shoot The Dog!, 2008-06-21 Fantastic. Reading this has helped me gain a bit of insight into relating better with our dog (and people too). For five years I have tried many things to aid in getting our dog to stop pulling while on leash. A Gentle Leader didn't work. A choke collar didn't work. I even resorted to using a Herm Sprenger prong collar, to no avail. After reading this, I realized I needed to "speak" a language my dog could understand. He pulls, I stop. He wants to walk, so he stops pulling. Our walks are quite lovely now, and I didn't need to buy an expensive training aid to accomplish that. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: great information to change behaviors, 2008-06-20 Works wonders for my dog, and I've noticed my boss uses these methods to get the best from me also (and I don't mind!). 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor, 2008-06-12 Good book for dog training and behavior, however there are lessons that can apply to other aspects of life, including human interactions.
