Clicker Training Made Easy

Clicker Training Made Easy is designed to assist pet owners in their quest to train their pets (especially dogs) through operant conditioning. Operant conditioning focuses on natural behaviors and shapes those behaviors through positive reinforcement.

The book is divided into two parts; the first part of the book focuses on the majority of the theory behind operant conditioning, and the second part focuses on applying these techniques well. It is written in an easy to read fashion by someone who has successfully used this technique to train many pets.
