I think I will buy it and read it while I am over in Iraq. It will give me some more great ideas for my very creative Havoc!

It was amazing - a "can't put down" book. If you used to train (or are training) with force based methods, this book will make you think twice. It does not work for Gracie and now I am learning why. What a difference in her behavior and attitude since changing our views to positive training and being more positive in general with her. It's a great read. Highly recommended.

I'm still waiting for this book. I hope it arrives soon I want to take it on vacation next week.

I love hearing when someone can't put it down. Makes me want to read it all the more. lol.

I'm half way though. I've been reading this on my vacation and enjoying the concepts.

I realize now that there is a difference between Clicker Training and Training with a Clicker. I was Training with a Clicker before, and using it as a marker.

I would love to go to a Clicker Training Class.
