Melissa Alexander of the popular ClickerSolutions website and forum, has compiled a very convenient reference guide, complete with an index. It's a large, attractively laid out paperback with over 100 questions answered.
Each question has two or more pages, with the question, its answer, often a short success story, and a little "See also" sidebar, listing related questions, much like hyperlinks.
Each chapter covers about six or eight questions. The chapters are:
About Clicker Training, Equipment, That Magical Click, Reinforcement, Getting Started, Punishment, Mistakes, and Errors, About Training Sessions, Getting the Behavior, Making the Behavior Perfect, Reliability and Fluency, Specific Behaviors, Solving Problem Behavior, Beyond show more Training, Beyond Method: The Underlying Science
This book was at my bedside for weeks after I bought it. I enjoyed reading a bit before I fell asleep... and the plot didn't keep me turning the pages for hours.
It's not a step-by-step guide to clicker training. For that, I suggest Peggy Tillman's Clicking with Your Dog or others. show less
