It's a lot to manage—the clicker, the treats, the toy, the leash, never mind the dog. Sometimes it's hard to remember what the instructor said about reinforcing recalls, what to do if your dog gets up during a “sit-stay,” or what to practice over the coming week.

The book covers:
When Emma Parsons, canine trainer and behaviour consultant, discovered that Ben, her own prized golden retriever, was aggressive toward other dogs and that traditional remedies took his reactivity to nightmarish levels, she turned to clicker training.
In the process, Emma developed innovative and highly effective strategies to calm, alter, and re-shape Ben's aggressive displays. Her work has since helped many clients successfully reduce-and even erase-their dogs' reactivity to both dogs and humans.
This proven path is now laid out, clearly and empathetically, for you to follow.

Even the professional groomer will benefit from understanding and using these methods. Dogs will enjoy being groomed and owners will find the process rewarding.
Please Note: A basic understanding of clicker training is required for this book.~by Karen McCarthy
"This is more than a book for groomers. It’s an illustrated, step-by-step guide for using clicker training to teach any dog to be completely at ease and cooperative with physical care, including medical treatment, baths, clipping, and ear, tooth, and nail care. In the zoo world they call it husbandry behavior, and use the clicker to trim hooves (think rhinos and giraffes), draw blood, and give shots (think tigers and killer whales). How come we’re still muzzling dogs? This book is full of practical tips; for example I was tickled by the photo essay on how to teach big dogs to put themselves on the grooming or examination table (provide moveable steps). This book will be invaluable to vet techs, conformation show folks, breeders, and of course, to groomers." —Karen Pryor
Grooming helps you keep a close eye on your dog's body and gives you the skill of being able to identify any changes that may occur. A mentally happy and physically healthy dog performs any request willingly and in a confident and joyful manner; and if a dog is happy and confident then the owner will be too.
As a professional groomer and dog trainer, Karen has been able to combine both roles to show how all dogs can enjoy the process, and remove the stress often associated with handling. This book is directed towards teaching both owner and groomer how to use the clicker mehtods in order to make grooming and enjoyable process for both dog and caregiver alike. Small or big, young or old every dog that Karen has groomed loves the outcome. They prance and run around with a renewed sense of invigorated freedom. It's not only the dog's that love it, the owners too are always pleased, their dog looks good, feels good and smells great - a combination that inspires happiness all round.
From the author: "I have groomed many dogs that have obviously not had the best past experiences in the grooming parlour including ones that were often sedated to be groomed - I can quite confidently say that through the positive fun methods that I use that none of my clients are sedated anymore, most of them actually enjoy being groomed and some of them even come running."

Author: Jane Killion~This book will help you get good at working from the dog's perspective, breaking things down into small units, training with your brains instead of with punishment, using a high rate of reinforcement because that's the best communication tool you have, using what the dog likes to reinforce behavior you like, and lots, lots more.
The author is a good writer, witty and perceptive, and her highly responsive bull terriers (impossible dogs!) are living proof that she's really onto something. I bet you can't open to a single page without going "Oh! I want to try that!" Whether you have an "untrainable" breed or not, here's how to build a beautiful relationship with kindness all the way

Learn step-by-step how to clicker train your dog to do a solid, enthusiastic and reliable retrieve.~Author: Lana Mitchell
The retrieve is one of the most difficult skills for most dogs to master in competetive obedience. It is difficult because it involves a long series of steps that the dog must learn in order to retrieve the object successfully. More and more trainers are realizing that teaching a comples series of behaviours like this is most easily done through the use of clicker training - using the same techniques used by large animal trainers working with whales, dolphins and elephants.
The Clicked Retriever teaches you step-by-step how to clicker train your dog to do a solid, enthusiastic and reliable retrieve. Learning no-force techniques builds trust between you and your dog, makes training more enjoyable for both of you, and sets you up for life long training success built on scientific principles, respect and fun.

Clicker training for scent discrimination.~Can you train scent discrimination for the utility exercises in as little as three weeks? Yes you can!
The scent discrimination exercise in the Utility obedience class is one that can cause many trainers, and their dogs, unnecessary stress and frustration. This exercise is difficult for trainers to teach because it is not clear to us, as humans, how our dogs actually experience and perceive scent.
While the actual behavior of sniffing to compare and discriminate different smells is very natural to dogs, it can be very difficult for a dog to understand that it should be done on cue and in a controlled manner.
Click 'n' Sniff: Clicker Training for Scent Discrimination helps to make this training process more enjoyable for both the trainer and the dog!~Click n Sniff|SBCNS1|~1800~1835~~

Dogs don't care if you win or lose, they only care how you play the game. Learn how to use Click and Play training techniques to bring agility behaviours to the highest level.~Author: Angelica Steinker
Agility is a playful game. Dogs don't care if you win or lose, they only care how you play the game. Not only does this book tell you how these click and play training techniques work, it tells you why. Let the author guide you through the science of how dogs learn, so you can better understand how to teach agility to your dog. Throughout, this book emphasizes having fun and bonding with your dog while using clicker training to bring agility behaviors to the highest level.
This book introduces the concept of the Click and Play Pyramid, which helps keep your clicker training on track. The Click and Play Pyramid is made up of five layers.
The bottom layer, which everything else builds on, is attention. The dog gives the handler attention and vice versa. Consistency-the next layer-is critical to the dog's learning process. Without consistency, the dog's learning is slowed or stopped.
Consistency leads to the next layer, which is attitude and motivation. Are both you and your dog having fun? Fun can be exciting, and excitement can lead to issues with self-control.
Self-control is the fourth layer. Both dog and handler's self-control are critical to an agility team's success.
The pinnacle of the pyramid is the concept of win/win training. Ideally, in all interactions both the handler and the dog win.
Use this book and the Click and Play Pyramid concepts to help you and your dog become the best agility team you can be!~Click n Play Agility|SBCNPA1|~1800~1829~~
