Clicker Training with Your Dog

Teach Yourself VISUALLY Dog Training

New Complete Dog Training Manual

Clicker training is the most popular form of positive reinforcement training for dogs. Good behavior is marked with a click and rewarded with a treat, a toy, or a pat.

Ms. Tillman has used the principles popularized by Karen Pryor to create a step-by-step guide for the beginning dog owner/trainer.
While Ms. Pryor's works are interesting to read, novice dog trainers may find them more theoretical than practical.

This 200-page guide is available from amazon.com in both new and used copies at a range of prices. It was first published in 2001.
