This book explores the fascinating science of operant conditioning, where science and dog training meet. How Dogs Learn discusses the basic principles of behavior and how they can be used to teach your dog new skills, diagnose problems, and eliminate unwanted behaviors. It's for anyone who wants to better understand the learning process in dogs. Every concept is laid out clearly and precisely, and its relevance to your dog and how you train is explained.

Well written and narrated, I will re-listen to this book at some point and take notes as I found it went into a lot of used details on a variety of training techniques, backed up with easy to understand examples and studies.

Fantastic book for all the training basics

Really need a hardcopy too for referencing. Also down to personal preference but found the reader hard to listen too at times.

Great Book but....

The narration was very stilted, even for a book of this type. The content, however, was excellent. I’m just about to begin listening a second time through as there’s so much to take in!

Interesting book

Contains information about how dogs learn and stresses our responsibility in raising well behaved dogs. I probably learned quite a bit from it. However I think the presentation of the material is patronising and intimidating. I think the narrator probably captures the tone of the written word correctly and there is humour in there but it is sarcastic, which I am normally ok with, but I found it too damning.

Mixed feelings.

It’s really informative to going over the various techniques of operant conditioning and classical conditioning. A definite must read for Dog Trainer.

Interesting read for dog trainers

A Definite for Aspiring Dog Trainers.
