Thus selling as USED and for LESS! Small Pocket reader, Review: A training book for animals and humans for your everyday life. - A previous coworker recommended this book, among many others, when I was coming into my interest in canine behavior and training and it's definitely a worthwhile read, or reference book, for those interested in training anything, or anyone. Karen Pryor created an easy to read book breaking down positive reinforcement training, as well as other types of training and how they can be applied not only to animals, but to the people around us, within our work and school environment and pretty much in our day to day life. She explains how positive reinforcement provides better results over alternative methods of training by making plenty of comparisons to punishment based training methods as well as negative reinforcement training methods. I loved the incorporation of her personal stories, and training sessions, in order to emphasis certain drawbacks to punishment, and specific benefits to positive reinforcement training. There was plenty of material in this book that overlapped with the novice clicker training course that I had taken a month ago which it allowed me to breeze through some parts but enough new material to keep me engaged and actively reading till the end. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in pursuing training of any kind (or are looking for healthier ways to improve the relationships in their lives). Review: Trying to train a mammal? Start Here. - Relax: the title is a joke. Karen Pryor is the foremost expert on operant conditioning as it applies to non-human animals. Very interesting read, and pretty much all directly applicable to whatever animal you're training. Including the human ones. ## Features - comprehensive and helpful information - handy to have for referencing and furthering your knowledge of your pet - Add to your librarby to increase your families knowledge of your pets - Model number: IP09873 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #45,758 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #64 in Dog Training (Books) #4,717 in Health, Fitness & Dieting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,269 Reviews | ## Images ![Don't Shoot the Dog! : The New Art of Teaching and Training - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VTOIDksSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A training book for animals and humans for your everyday life. *by J***S on October 19, 2014* A previous coworker recommended this book, among many others, when I was coming into my interest in canine behavior and training and it's definitely a worthwhile read, or reference book, for those interested in training anything, or anyone.
