   This book was a good deal, however it did not keep my attention. To this day my dog is not clicker trained.

   I bought this book on the recommendation of my dog trainer. I had never trained a dog before. I wanted to do everything right from the beginning. My charming and energetic Jack Russel responded immediantly! I am having so much fun with my new friend. Thank you, Ms. Jones, for sharing your insight with others!

   There is another book, Peggy Tillman’s Clicking with your dog,
   that often gets the press, but this is a much better book. Dr. Jones talks about how to get a non-interested dog interested in clicking and how to move up from there. Tillman’s book gives every task a name though often does not discuss how to group them and make them into new combinations. Dr. Jones has no problem with grouping, re-grouping, organising and such activities.

   This book has plenty of activities which you can start with and use for either performance or comfirmation activities plus a weekly planner. She gives lots of ‘shaping’ tips and problem solutions. A superb training manual. Sorry it’s op.

   Deb Jones’ book is one of the easiest to understand clicker training books out there. The science of operant conditioning is explained in layman’s language, and the examples are down-to-earth. The tricks and games Dr. Jones describes are fun to teach any dog and will lay the foundation for further work in clicker training.
