The New Click to Calm: Solutions for All Dogs in a Challenging World

I’m used to clicker training, having read Karen Pryor Don’t Shoot the Dog. This is a useful addition to my “how do I “ selection of dog-training books. It runs through specific tools for the nervous or in my case over-enthusiastic dog. Other sub-optimal behaviours are covered too.Excellent tools for front door etiquette especially door bell excitement .To be fair the principles are similar each time ( clicker training) and can be substituted with a word if you do not fancy using a tool.Will keep this for future dogs and have recommended it to my friends with lead-reactive dogs.

Really good book on clicker training for reactive or aggressive dogs. She doesn't waffle on with anecdotes or opinions, or reasons why her methods are superior.She starts with simple behaviours that you can train easily, and slowly builds in complexity. She also gives you tips for success, things that can go wrong and how to handle things if they do go wrong.Recommended for anyone who wants to train in a force-free manner.

Bought for someone who was new to positive reinforcement training with her mildly reactive dog. She loves the book!

Fantastic book, along with "don't shoot the dog." Positive reinforcement is the only way to go in my opinion, and the presentation of this book is great. I usually gift it to friends who get a new dog.

L'auteur parle vrai, comme souvent chez les Américains. Dommage que cette version n'existe pour l'heure qu'en VO. Elle apporte une réelle plus value par rapport à la version à couverture bleue. L'anglais est cependant très compréhensible. Ayant recueilli un chien réactif je me reconnais dans ce livre et je suis conforté dans les méthodes mises en oeuvre depuis maintenant 4 mois. Exactement celles que préconise Emma Parsons, ses conseils et "trucs" valent de l'or, ils ont sauvé notre chien.Dire qu'un éducateur canin, promoteur de la méthode positive, m'avait conseillé d'euthanasier mon chien. La méthode du clicker l'a sauvé et transformé. Bien sûr, il sera toujours à surveiller, comme Ben, le golden d'Emma qui est 'l'origine de la publication de Click to Calm, version bleue.Ce livre remarquable est à mettre entre toutes les mains, surtout les plus désemparées. Pour ceux ne lisant pas l'anglais la version bleue fait aussi l'affaire.

Easy reading instructions very good very helpful and it works clicker training really does work

My friend is enjoying the book. It was my present to her.
