 webDogTrainer.com review June 26, 2008
As a dog trainer this was one of the required reading materials when I first started at Guide Dogs for the Blind. I think it is a good idea to read many different kinds of training guides as I find myself using positive only training methods.

 Don't Shoot The Dog! June 21, 2008
Fantastic. Reading this has helped me gain a bit of insight into relating better with our dog (and people too). For five years I have tried many things to aid in getting our dog to stop pulling while on leash. A Gentle Leader didn't work. A choke collar didn't work. I even resorted to using a Herm Sprenger prong collar, to no avail. After reading this, I realized I needed to "speak" a language my dog could understand. He pulls, I stop. He wants to walk, so he stops pulling. Our walks are quite lovely now, and I didn't need to buy an expensive training aid to accomplish that.
great information to change behaviors June 20, 2008
Works wonders for my dog, and I've noticed my boss uses these methods to get the best from me also (and I don't mind!).
Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor June 12, 2008
Good book for dog training and behavior, however there are lessons that can apply to other aspects of life, including human interactions.
 Don't Shoot The Dog June 4, 2008
The author, Karen Pryor uses a psychological approach for shaping the behavior or dogs. The title of the book invokes humor in teaching and training behavior. Behavior modification techniques have been around for many years and still affect animal behavior when used appropriately.
It could be easier to find a particular behavior like "biting" if it were listed in the index, so there is room for improvement there. Otherwise, learning about behavior modification techniques is very valuable, not only with animals but also with humans.
