Expanded Description:
Great news for those of you who have wanted to read a book that explains animal learning in a manner that is easily understood and entertaining. With the freedom of understanding 'how your dog learns' comes the ability of making the process easy, efficient and enjoyable for your dog. You'll be in a position to excel-erate your dog's learning! Agility enthusiast, obedience competitor and psychologist Dr. Pamela Reid introduces you to cutting-edge scientific techniques in dog training including, autoshaping retrieval (i.e., letting the dog train itself), and 'errorless discrimination learning' for teaching scent articles and directed jumping. The combination of a relaxed writing style and numerous examples that relate to dog training makes learning theory actually fun to learn |

| Fantastic Resource!, May 9, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Cam Bexten, CPDT |
| By far one of the best books I've found on learning theory. It's very accessible, well-organized, and has great examples that really clarify the subject material. I highly recommend it as an anchor text for learning theory in general as well as a great resource for the CCPDT exams. |
