Book Reviews of Don't Shoot the Dog!: The New Art of Teaching and Training
Book Review: Every animal owner needs to read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite training book (and isn't just about dog training- it's about
operant conditioning for the average Joe). It humorously and thoroughly explains
how to influence and shape behavior using well-timed reinforcement. This book will
be especially helpful to people trying to train animals to do unusual behaviors (such
as disabled people who are self-training their own assistance dog). When you're
done reading this, you'll understand how to break literally any behavior down into
small manageable pieces that you can train for. But don't assume it's just for animal
trainers. I know an excellent manager who read this book when he was first promoted to
management.
It's a quick-read, it's fun, and the info is very valuable. Certainly a
"must read".
