Animal Training Book and DVD Reviews

Here are links to reviews that I have written for animal training books and DVDs that I like. (At the bottom of the page there are also a few reviews for ones that I would recommend avoiding!)

Each title has a link to my review as well as a link so that you can view the title on Amazon (or another site, if the title is not available on Amazon).

Interested in Animal Training? If you are new to animal training and the study of animal behavior, I highly recommend you check out Karen Pryor’s classic book, Don’t Shoot the Dog.
