Product Description

Synopsis
Operant conditioning is a specific type of learning in which behaviors are altered or changed primarily by manipulating the consequences that follow them. Author Brenda Aloff uses the theory of operant conditioning and applies it to dog training in her informative book. Positive Reinforcement: Training a Dog in the Real World. Written by an experienced dog trainer in language that the novice can easily understand, this step-by-step guide to reliable obedience and effective training methods is based on the belief that the best way to teach your dog appropriate behavior is to use positive reinforcement instead of punishment.

4.0 out of 5 stars The HOW in dog training!, 20 Jul 2002
By Ms. Sally J. Hayward "SallyJ" (Basingstoke) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many books on dog training - most of which make it appear simple - even use diagrams - but don't tell you HOW to get you dog to work RELIABLY and CONSISTENTLY in different environments with a multitude of distractions. This book does precisely that - showing you precisely how to elicit desired behaviours using reward markers and non-reward markers. It also provides suggested training schedules - and explains the importance of shaping behaviour and generalisation. It includes a very amusing "training game" (to be played by humans) in which one person plays the dog and the rest of the "players" try to elicit the desired behaviour. This really teaches you about training from the dogs point of you and emphasises the importance of timing rewards correctly!

A really interesting and practical book.
