"The author introduces a brief history of clicker training and the basic principles of this training method that uses positive reinforcement and rewards. She presents step-by-step instructions for a variety of exercises, some of which also incorporate a target stick. The exercises include fun behaviors (e.g., playing soccer and running through a tunnel), behavior modifications (e.g., waiting patiently for the food bowl), and introductions to new experiences (e.g., being picked up, being groomed, traveling in a pet carrier)." -- Provided by publisher.
