 Clicker Training for Obedience November 4, 2009
K. Snerling (Australia)
This book is fantastic for anyone who is wanting to do obedience trialling with their dog. In the few weeks that I have used the methods described in the book, my dog has improved 10 fold !!!. Starts with the very basic's, the use of a target stick, step by step through all the exercises that are used in obedience trials.
For the young puppy to the older "trained" dog and everything in between. With 100% positive reinforcements used, this is the only way to train your dog.

D. Golovatchoff (Santa Barbara, CA)
Here is an excellent and thorough book for teaching not only basic obedience but advanced exercises as they occur in AKC Open and Utility competition. I was already familiar with clicker training from my agility classes but found this a wonderful way of promoting willing and happy performance of sometimes complex behaviors. Do away with choke and prong collars, "ear pinches" and leashes and instead motivate your dog with clicks and treats. I found the variable reinforcement plan for heeling got my dogs to really focus and want to stay with me in perfect heel position, and the step by step descriptions for training directed jumping and scent discrimination especially detailed and helpful. This is clearly a book that has been very well thought out and planned by someone who also knows how to write lucidly.
 Great for the beginner! October 3, 2009

This book has nothing new to offer professional trainers well versed in clicker (marker) training, but is great for the first time dog owner or novice trainer. Although the behaviors covered are very basic, the detail is just enough without being overwhelming, and the explainations make sense without too much jargon.
It isn't great (there are much better books out there) but it isn't horrible, either!

The book is exactly what I needed to both begin and move onto more advanced work in clicker training as my dog and I are "crossovers". It gives great explanations about the theory behind this method and easy to understand practical steps to achieving the desired outcome. The book was second hand and in the condition the seller promised so I was also happy with that, and with the speed it reached me.
