"Whatever the task, whether keeping a four-year-old quiet in public, housebreaking a puppy, coaching a team, or memorizing a poem, it will go fast, and better, and be more fun, if you know how to use reinforcement."--Karen Pryor.
Now Karen Pryor clearly explains the underlying principles of behavioral training and through numerous fascinating examples reveals how this art can be applied to virtually any common situation. And best of all, she tells how to do it without yelling threats, force, punishment, guilt trips--or shooting the dog. 8 methods for putting an end to all kinds of undesirable behavior. The 10 laws of "shaping" behavior--for results without strain or pain through "affection training." How to combat your own addictions to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, overheating or whatever, how to deal with such difficult problems as a moody spouse, an impossible teen, or an aged parent. Plus. . .House training the dog, improving your tennis game, keeping the cat off the table, and much more!

Wishing for more concrete dog training ideas 
I bought Ms. Pryor's book on the recommendation of a friend who has been reading Ms. Pryor's work. I was looking to get ideas from Ms. Pryor on how to address common problems with dogs--such as walking freely at my side,and to stop barking at the sound of doorbells. Among her books, I chose this one because it had the word "dog," in it and I was expecting most of the book to provide examples and experiences with dogs but that was not the case. I was aware that Ms. Pryor had trained dolphins, nevertheless, I thought her focus would be on dogs. The book offers a variety of behavioral training approaches but most are explained in the context of dolphins she trained, human behaviors we try to change in our relationships and in some rare instances, dog behavior. To put it bluntly, I've been disappointed with the book. I'm in the last chapter and am straining to get it finished.
Don't Shoot The Dog!
No surprises here. I got what I expected, when I expected it. You can expect me to use this vendor again. Thank you.
Training your Dog
She knows her stuff. I would recommend this book for all dog trainers and serious dog owners who wants their dog trained.
Don't shoot the dog
Don't Shoot The Dog makes you think that this book is based on dogs...but in fact it is based on human relationships and Dolphin training as well. It's the best book I have ever read on positive reinforcement training. Maybe not the easiest read but so educational. As a dog trainer I apply this to my own training and even human relationships.
There is no force used in this method of training and can be used on almost anything and anyone. From kids to birds.
This is a must read for anyone serious about training their dogs and having better relationships with the people around them. To understand training this is the book to read.
Don't Shoot the Dog
This is an EXCELLENT book!!! The title is Don't Shoot the Dog and upon reading it you'll understand why, but the book covers shaping behavior on ANY animal, four legged or two! A BIG thumb's up for this one!!!!!!!!!
