Reddit reviews Clicking with Your Dog: Step-by-Step in Pictures (Karen Pryor Clicker Books)

I highly recommend speaking with a certified trainer/behaviorist if you are worried about physical harm. Someone who is experienced in understanding dog body language could help you better understand when and why the aggression occurs, and especially how to alter this behavior.

For working on your own, the trainers we worked with highly suggested clicker training (here is an easy to follow book) and this book for clicker training to work on rehabilitation of aggressive dogs. We have a 90lb pit bull mix who was unresponsive to most other methods and the positive reinforcement and ability to "mark" desired behaviors immediately as with this training style really opened up a lot of doors for us. "Clicking with Your Dog" is laid out nicely with short sessions designed for shorter attention spans, and has suggestions for how to build up to each desired command from smaller ones. There is also a section with a sample daily schedule to show how you can work training into your daily routine, which is nice for people with busy schedules or those who don't prioritize devoting blocks of time to training. Training helped build a strong relationship with our dog and made him more of a family member; spending time training your dog could help you to feel a bond with your dog and not just like a guy whose job is to walk her.

Positive reinforcement training or "clicker" training. Here's a secret - you don't actually need a clicker. This dog will be very smart and will push back at forceful old-school training. But he will LOVE you and you will love him even more if you focus on the positive. Don't Shoot The Dog is the best book to get you started on this philosophy. And this is my favorite simple starter training book Clicking With Your Dog: Step-By-Step in Pictures (Karen Pryor Clicker Books)

If you can just wait two years (it will be hard, trust me) and keep socializing and positive training, after two years your perfect dog will begin to emerge. Until then expect lots of mistakes, but always use positive reinforcement. WORTH IT. You will never have to yell at your dog. I've trained both ways and I'm never going back.

I bought this book to learn more about Clicker Training, and it has a great Daily routing in it, along with some logbooks and other great tools for training, besides the actual 'how to do it' parts.

This post is full of great info. If you are new to clicker training this book helped my wife and I out.
