From Library Journal
Clicker training is a method of teaching behavior to dogs using positive reinforcement. The successive approximation of desired behavior is marked with a clicker and rewarded with a treat, a toy, or a pat. Inappropriate behavior is ignored, not punished. In 1985, Karen Pryor published the seminal work on this method, Don't Shoot the Dog (Bantam), and issued a revision in 1999. Both editions are highly theoretical and are aimed at the educated, informed lay reader. Tillman, an ergonomics illustrator as well as a dog trainer and clicker-training instructor, has made Pryor's principles and techniques accessible to the rank amateur. Using easily understandable text and clear, step-by-step drawings, she guides the novice through all the steps necessary to teach dogs almost 100 different behaviors, from basic obedience to housebreaking to tricks. She also applies the principles to the elimination of problem behavior. While Paul Owens's The Dog Whisperer (LJ 10/1/99) covered much the same subject matter, Tillman's book teaches the skills through illustrations. Highly recommended for public libraries.

About the Author
Peggy Larson Tillman created and wrote Clicking With Your Dog for her dog training classes. She realized her students needed a clearly written and illustrated book to help them learn and share the fun of clicker training.

Peggy drew on her knowledge of making designs user-friendly to make her book fun and easy to use. Peggy and her husband, a human factors/ergonomics engineer, have helped design systems, machines, and environments so they are easy for people to use. They have written two leading human factors/ergonomic books published by McGraw-Hill.

Peggy Tillman has a teaching credential and a behavioral psychology degree and worked for many years as an elementary school teacher. She found that clicker training fits exactly with her concept of how children should be treated --- fairly, and with lots of opportunities to succeed. Peggy went on to teach classes to pet owners, and in the process designed, wrote, and illustrated this visual instruction book.
