Getting Started: Clicker Training for Dogs – Karen Pryor

Description

Getting Started: Clicker Training for Dogs by Karen Pryor shows you a clear, practical way to use modern, reward‑based training so you and your dog learn the “language” of the click in real time. It walks you step‑by‑step through timing, reward delivery, and shaping, so you can build everyday skills like sit, down, loose‑leash walking, recalls, and polite greetings without force or intimidation. This is one of our favorite foundation‑level books for Border Collie families and dog professionals who want a science‑based, welfare‑focused way to communicate with bright, sensitive dogs.

The book is especially useful for new puppy owners, first‑time clicker users, and anyone who wants a simple, readable guide they can refer back to as they practice. It pairs beautifully with real‑life training around the house, in the yard, and on walks, and provides a solid framework you can build on with more advanced L.E.G.S.®/FDM-TW style work later on.
