More About the Author
Karen Pryor is a behavioral biologist with an international reputation in two fields, marine mammal biology and behavioral phsychology. She is a founder and leading proponent of "clicker training," a training system based on operant conditioning (isolate wanted behaviors and ignore the unwanted) and the all-positive methods developed by marine mammal trainers. Clicker training is now in use world wide with dogs, cats, horses, birds, zoo animals, and increasingly with humans, in the teaching of sports and athletic performances and developing behaviors in autistics.

Karen Pryor offers a new gentle approach to animal training.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Karen Pryor on Behavior (Paperback)
Karen Pryor shows sensitivity in her exploration of animal behavior and training. Her gentle positive approach coupled with patience enables her to reduce ethology to its basic terms for the scholar and the layman.
Our relationship to the animals in our lives is often special. We look for ways to enhance it and grow from the experience. Karen Pryor seems unafraid of being innovative. Her gentle methodology teaches us and our animals to learn a behavior and want to exhibit it as opposed to the traditional result where the animal's response is offered to avoid punishment.
Karen Pryor's essays are fascinating and encouraging. They are well written and easily understood. Transposing her experiences to our own training endeavors expands our parameters exponentially! The results are amazing
