A Better Way to Better Behavior

Karen Pryor's clear and entertaining explanation of behavioral training methods made Don't Shoot the Dog! a bestselling classic. Now this revised edition presents more of her insights into animalâ€”and humanâ€”behavior.

A groundbreaking behavioral scientist and dynamic animal trainer, Karen Pryor is a powerful proponent of the principles and practical uses of positive reinforcement in teaching new behaviors. Here are the secrets of changing behavior in pets, kidsâ€”even yourselfâ€”without yelling, threats, force, punishment, guilt trips...or shooting the dog:

â€¢The principles of the revolutionary "clicker training" method, which owes its phenomenal success to its immediacy of responseâ€”so there is no question what action you are rewarding
â€¢8 methods of ending undesirable habitsâ€”from furniture-clawing cats to sloppy roommates
â€¢The 10 laws of "shaping" behaviorâ€“for results without strain or pain through "affection training"
â€¢Tips for house-training the dog, improving your tennis game, or dealing with an impossible teen
â€¢Explorations of exciting new uses for reinforcement training

Learn why pet owners rave, "This book changed our lives!" and how these pioneering techniques can work for you too.
