 Marginal book at best July 8, 2006
The best book I found on showing your dog is "Raising a Champion" by Meredith John and Carole Richards. No one uses a clicker in the ring, so this book is kind of pointless.

First off let me say that I have a great deal of respect for Karen Pryor. I own her amazing video, Clicker Magic, and have read Don't Shoot the Dog along with many of her articles about animal training. I admire her greatly. She writes with a healthy sense of humor, and her advice is always sound.However, this book was a great disappointment to me. Although the articles are interesting, the training instruction is very broad. I had hoped for more specific information. If you are just starting out using a clicker to train, your money would be better spent on the above titles from Karen Pryor. I also recommend videos and books by Gary Wilkes.

I just received the new book by Karen Pryor, Click to Win! It's great! It's about clicker training dogs for the show ring, but everything in there can be applied to horses. It's very concise and gives lists of Tips for Getting Started, Targeting, Getting Rid of Unwanted Behaviors, Shaping, etc. I love the part where she talks about judging and all things being equal, showmanship can win the ribbon. You can teach your dog to take the stack on his own and then give the judge an "adoring" look. Too cool! My favorite part was about breeders who are clicker training their litters from birth. Some breeders offer replacement guarantees for animals that don't work out. The breeders who are CT'ing litters and offering replacement guarantees have had their replacement numbers dropped to zero!
