Review: Great book - A very good book for learning the fundamentals of operant conditioning. Great knowledge for any animal trainers
Review: Trying to train a mammal? Start Here. - Relax: the title is a joke. Karen Pryor is the foremost expert on operant conditioning as it applies to non-human animals. Very interesting read, and pretty much all directly applicable to whatever animal you're training. Including the human ones.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by K***R on December 5, 2025*

A very good book for learning the fundamentals of operant conditioning. Great knowledge for any animal trainers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trying to train a mammal? Start Here.
*by S***R on January 2, 2026*

Relax: the title is a joke. Karen Pryor is the foremost expert on operant conditioning as it applies to non-human animals. Very interesting read, and pretty much all directly applicable to whatever animal you're training. Including the human ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A training book for animals and humans for your everyday life.
*by J***S on October 19, 2014*

A previous coworker recommended this book, among many others, when I was coming into my interest in canine behavior and training and it's definitely a worthwhile read, or reference book, for those interested in training anything, or anyone. Karen Pryor created an easy to read book breaking down positive reinforcement training, as well as other types of training and how they can be applied not only to animals, but to the people around us, within our work and school environment and pretty much in our day to day life. She explains how positive reinforcement provides better results over alternative methods of training by making plenty of comparisons to punishment based training methods as well as negative reinforcement training methods. I loved the incorporation of her personal stories, and training sessions, in order to emphasis certain drawbacks to punishment, and specific benefits to positive reinforcement training. There was plenty of material in this book that overlapped with the novice clicker training course that I had taken a month ago which it allowed me to breeze through some parts but enough new material to keep me engaged and actively reading till the end. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in pursuing training of any kind (or are looking for healthier ways to improve the relationships in their lives).
