Book Reviews of Clicker Training for Obedience: Shaping Top Performance-Positively
Book Review: A Densely packed reference
Summary: 5 Stars
In his introduction, Morgan Spector mentions that it took him approximately 6 years to write this book and you can see why. He has produced a book so densely packed with up to the minute references, detailed instructions for various obedience exercises, and managed to still lace throughout a profound love and respect of animals. Owning up to old, outdated, and cruel methods of training, Spector gives lots of credit to pioneers of clicking like Karen Pryor and has put an excellent bibliography within the book. If any criticism exists, it would be that some exercises are hard to picture (purchasing Peggy Tillman's "Clicking with Step-by-Step Pictures" would be a helpful adjunct) and also Spector has used precise scientific language which causes the reader to slow down during certain passages. A fabulous book and a must on your shelf if you plan on doing fun and intensive training.
