“Better Together takes the reader on a journey that begins with an introduction of clicker training and the basics for puppies and all dogs. The book then progresses into more advanced concepts, with chapters on solving problems, dealing with aggressive dogs, and creating the thinking dog. I particularly like Karen Pryor’s new “Modern Principles of Training” – just one of the many highlights included in the book. I am hopeful that Better Together will be a valuable resource for trainers of all levels.” —Ken Ramirez
I’m excited to see this compiled final product!
Oh, this sounds like it would be good. I have 2 dogs and one absolute refusing to train or learn anything. The other is super smart and knows a lot but I am stuck at what to try with him next.
I am so excited to read this book! I love dogs and I actually own four. I’m sure this book will inspire lots of people and would make them appreciate their dogs more. Thank you so much for sharing!
Great news to hear, looking forward to reading the book and learning more about training!
Nice! Some great trainers featured in this book! Was hoping to pick up a copy on Amazon but it seems it’s still not available. 🙁
I’m looking forward to reading it though so I’ve added it to my Amazon list.
Thanks for the heads up!
Hi,
I just wanted to pop in and say that I found where to buy the book if it’s not available on Amazon. The shop at the Karen Pryor website clickertraining[dot]com has it available.
I’m looking forward to this read!
Thanks!
I feel very happy to read this great book. I love dogs much. This book is very helpful for dog lovers ! Thanks admin for sharing such a great book, please keep it up !
This looks like a great book to have! I have been taking care of a Chihuahua named Zoe for the last couple of months. She is great and full of life and love. I realized since I have been taking care of a dog, once they know and trusts you, it is easy to train and tell tem things you want them to do or not to do. When I go out with Zoe a leash is not neccessary because I know once I call her she comes instantly. Why? Because she trusts me.
sounds good. I think this book surely very help full for pet owners. its cover all the things.. Whether you are a first-time dog owner or a seasoned trainer, perfect guide to make both you and your dog happy, smart, and confident.
