About this product

Product Information

"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

Reviews
"In the course of becoming a renowned dolphin  trainer, Karen Pryor learned that positive  reinforcement (the only kind useable with dolphins, who can't  be reached with leashes, bridles, fists, or yells)  is even more potent that prior scientific work had  suggested. . .This new book looks like the very  best on the subject--a full-scale  mind-changer."--Stewart Brand,The Coevolution  Quarterly., "In the course of becoming a renowned dolphin  trainer, Karen Pryor learned that positive  reinforcement (the only kind useable with dolphins, who can't  be reached with leashes, bridles, fists, or yells)  is even more potent that prior scientific work had  suggested. . .This new book looks like the very  best on the subject--a full-scale  mind-changer."--Stewart Brand, The Coevolution  Quarterly .

    Don't Shoot the Dog!!! A must read!!

    This is a GREAT Book. Very practical, very nuts and bolts, used for not only dogs, but for training humans as well. She offers chapters on how to overcome addictions, how to train yourself into bad behaviors and how to train your canine buddies. This makes a great BDSM training book too!!!!! I recommend this for any Dog lover, or trainer out there looking for a few pointers.

    Don't Shoot the Dog

    Great book. Not specifically about training dogs, but how animals (including us) learn and how to accomplish this in an effective and enjoyable manner. Also shows why some of our attempts to change others' behavior (like children) is not working and suggests more effective methods.
