About this title

Synopsis

A trainer and consultant for nearly 40 years, Ken Ramirez is well regarded as a leader in the animal training world. In his bestselling book Animal Successful Animal Management Through Positive Reinforcement, Ken has selected and organized almost 600 pages of what in his opinion are the best papers, articles, and presentations on the topic of reinforcement-based training, each making a special point, each worth some serious attention. Here’s a chance to really explore the thinking and the training protocols involved in reinforcement-based training—whether it’s your dog or a cranky elephant or a group of killer whales. Contributors include the Baileys, many ClickerExpo faculty members, scientists and graduate students, dog trainers, dolphin trainers, zoo behaviorists, and Ken Ramirez himself. Karen Pryor’s work and references to Don’t Shoot the Dog appear throughout. This is a year or more of entertaining bedside reading for any training buff, and an important resource for the serious student of operant conditioning. Many of the reprinted articles include data, graphs, training logs, and other background material, and detailed references.
