Product Description
Explaining, in plain English, how dogs learn and how best to teach them. This book is written for people who train dogs. Pamela I. Reid, Ph.D. wrote this with the purpose to help you understand the learning process so you'll become a better teacher. It takes a difficult subject matter and explains it in a manner we can all understand. This is not a how-to book. It is a why book. It will spark your dog training creativity. You'll learn why some training methods work and some don't for any particular behavior or dog. You'll be able to determine what works best for your dog, as the student, and what works best for you, as the trainer. (Paperback, 172 pages)

A great book on the theory on how dogs learn. December 16, 2008
K. Raghavan (Singapore)
This book is great if you want to know in detail how dogs learn. It gets a bit confusing for the regular pet owner at times, but it explains in great detail on the best ways to train a dog.
 Good solid science January 20, 2008
V. Boyd
This book is for anyone who wishes to compete in obedience competition, become a pro dog trainer or has an interest in understanding the canine brain and how they learn. It's not for your average pet owner or first time dog owner. I enjoyed this book and it has made me a better trainer.
 I did not find the "plain English" in this book July 16, 2007

I was very disappointed with this book. It is certainly not in plain English, focused way too much on theories and makes it not very approachable. I was hoping to find practical solutions, not some professor talk. To some extent I can only blame myself: only a PhD can write something like that and then put "plain English" in the title. Next time I will make sure I check the author's background first...
Great background on dog behavior. May 21, 2007
Marla Friedler (SoCal)
This book is a must for anyone serious about training dogs. Scientific mumbo jumbo is streamlined for the rest of us.

This has to be about the worse book I have ever attempted to read related to dog behavior. It is a difficult read in that it is mostly theoretical statements with absolutely no practical suggestions as how to approach and solve dog issues. I threw it in the trash about 5 minutes after I began browsing through it.
