This book is NOT a manual on how to clicker train animals. It IS a terrific explanation of why and how clicker training works on ALL animals - including humans. The book includes information on brain research, as well as behavior research. Additionally, it has wonderful anecdotes from the author's extensive experiences and has links to videos and slide shows on-line that illustrate the author's points. This book appeals to a very wide audience, and opens up the possibilities for the use of clickers (or taggers) in a multitude of situations.

I'm an armchair behaviorist, and I LOVED this book. Everything explained so clearly. Liked it much better than Don't Shoot the Dog.

Excellent training guide and interesting information both anecdotal and scientifically backed. If you are interested in force-free training, you need to read this!
