Clicking
With Your Dog: Step-By-Step in Pictures
(Karen Pryor Clicker Books)
Low on theory but long on step-by-step directions, this is an excellent first book for a dog owner wanting to learn clicker training.
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.
Author Peggy Tillman uses the principles popularized by Karen
Pryor to create a visual 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.
Ms. Tillman guides the novice through all the steps necessary to teach dogs almost 100 different behaviors, from basic obedience to housebreaking to tricks. Well illustrated and easy to follow.
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.
If you
prefer a DVD, Karen Pryor did produce a good one Clicker

New
Complete Dog Training Manual
Perfect for novice dog owners!
Veterinarian Bruce Fogle's book is written in a clear, concise manner with lots of pictures for reinforcement of instructions. It would be suitable for either a school child or adult to use.
This 176-page book covers all the basics and is a great choice for adults or children with their first puppy.
The Manual shows you how to establish routines, implement commands, break bad habits, and train various breeds.
This is a beginner level book, however, and not the right choice if you are trying to rehabilitate a rescued dog or break him of a serious problem such as food guarding. Take a look at Cesar Millan or Don Sullivan for that.
