Description of  Clicker Training for Obedience

If you teach competition or compete with your dog, Morgan Spector's groundbreaking book Clicker Training for Obedience is a must-own. It's a complete course on how to get great performance from any working dog, without using harsh methods. Many of our customers call it, reverently, the "bible" of competition obedience training and a key resource for all avid trainers. Every component is covered clearly, thoroughly, and also engagingly, as Morgan includes plenty of great anecdotes and pictures that both inform and entertain his readers along the way. Summary review When this book was first published, there was a lot of skepticism about clicker training for demanding competition events. Not anymore. With plenty of todays top dogs having being trained the clicker way, there are heaps of success as well as waves of enthusiasm for clicker training in all competition arenas. This book has been key to a sea change in both the approach used in competition training and in the addition of far more "non-obedience" breeds into the field. Lucky dogs! Clicker Training for Obedience transforms the training process for both trainers and their dogs. If you teach classes, your students will embrace this training as they no longer rely on methods that force their dog into compliance. If you have been using traditional methods of training you'll be amazed at the speed your dog learns, as well as the enthusiasm that the training process generates. If youre having trouble in your current training process, this book will get you back on track. And if youre just starting out, you'll wonder why anyone would have ever approached it any other way! This large-format book with 260 pages is full of photographs, a great glossary, and a helpful resource section. Whether you're starting off with a new puppy or headed for the obedience ring, this is the resource we recommend to get you from the start to your UDX title!
