Clicker Training for Obedience: Shaping Top Performance-Positively

If you teach competition or compete with your dog, Morgan Spector's groundbreaking book Clicker Training for Obedience is a must-own. It's a complete course on how to get great performance from any working dog, without using harsh methods. Many of our customers call it, reverently, the "bible" of competition obedience training and a key resource for all avid trainers. Every component is covered clearly, thoroughly, and also engagingly, as Morgan includes plenty of great anecdotes and pictures that both inform and entertain his readers along the way.
