4.0 out of 5 stars Puppy Love: Raise Your Dog the Clicker Way, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

Karen Pryor, a behavioral biologist and a former dolphin trainer, demonstrates how to build a great family dog by using a thumb sized clicker to reinforce positive behavior. Asserting that puppies get too m uch freedom too soon, Pryor recommends a program which limits a young dog's range early on and focuses on frequent grooming and handling, while using the clicker in conjunction with an edible reward to encourage desirable behavior. This is a training video which emphasizes positive methoods over choke chains, spankings and other militaristic solutions. It even comes with its own clicker.

2.0 out of 5 stars Thin on instruction, December 20, 2000

By A Customer

This video was not a good value for the price. It is 30 minutes for $.... While I am a huge fan of Karen Pryor and operant conditioning for dog training, I found this to be extremely weak with "how-to's". I was very disappointed. The Ian Dunbar video, "Sirius Puppy Training" gives more information and step-by-step, but is a little outdated.
