By Claire L. Davies with Stephen King Many people that train animals are very much ‘hands on’ practical kinds of people. We like to get on and do things. However, there are some times when it’s helpful to have knowledge of the theory behind what were doing, and successful dog training is just one of those occasions. We can leap right in and start trying it out for ourselves, but if we have a greater understanding of the scientific principles behind the use of positive reinforcement we can make much better progress, avoiding the pitfalls and maximizing the effectiveness of the method. This is one time when we should be reading the instruction manual. Best selling author, and respected trainer and behaviourist, Stephen King produced the instruction manual for us in his book ‘Ready, Steady, Click!’, a wonderful resource for us to learn about the theory of using operant conditioning. Now this workbook has been designed to help you work through the important concepts and try out some practical applications £6.99 Read Review
