Don't Shoot the Dog!: The New Art of Teaching and Training
Editorial Reviews
Review
"In the course of becoming a renowned dolphin  trainer, Karen Pryor learned that positive  reinforcement (the only kind useable with dolphins, who can't  be reached with leashes, bridles, fists, or yells)  is even more potent that prior scientific work had  suggested. . .This new book looks like the very  best on the subject--a full-scale  mind-changer."--Stewart Brand, The Coevolution  Quarterly .
Book Description
"Whatever the task, whether keeping a  four-year-old quiet in public, housebreaking a puppy,  coaching a team, or memorizing a poem, it will go  fast, and better, and be more fun, if you know how  to use reinforcement."--Karen  Pryor.
Now Karen Pryor clearly explains the  underlying principles of behavioral training and through  numerous fascinating examples reveals how this art  can be applied to virtually any common situation.  And best of all, she tells how to do it without  yelling threats, force, punishment, guilt trips--or  shooting the dog. 8 methods for putting an end to  all kinds of undesirable behavior. The 10 laws of  "shaping" behavior--for results without strain  or pain through "affection training."  How to combat your own addictions to alcohol,  drugs, cigarettes, overheating or whatever, how to deal  with such difficult problems as a moody spouse, an  impossible teen, or an aged parent. Plus. .  .House training the dog, improving your tennis game,  keeping the cat off the table, and much more!
