 Easy as far as Learning Theory Goes July 6, 2008
I liked this book better than all the other learning theory books. 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.
 webDogTrainer.com review June 26, 2008
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.

Don't Shoot The Dog! June 21, 2008
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.
great information to change behaviors June 20, 2008
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!).
Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor June 12, 2008
Good book for dog training and behavior, however there are lessons that can apply to other aspects of life, including human interactions.
