Ready, Steady, Click by Stephen G KingReady, Steady, Click! by Stephen G. King is an excellent introduction to dog training based on positive reinforcement.  The author clearly and concisely describes the science that underlies learning in all species, and applies it well to the training of pet dogs.  The twenty Training Tips for Success at the end of the book are great guidelines for all trainers.

What I like about Ready, Steady Click! is that it is readable and concise but also accurate. It explains the principles of learning in such a way that makes it fun. Dog guardians will find in this book everything they need to get started in dog training and problem solving. A terrific job of providing extensive information on learning, training and problem solving in 88 pages. Ready, Steady, Click! starts with a discussion of the science of behavior in order to put the topic in context. It proceeds to outline the basic procedures of clicker training and the principles of behavior. The resources at the back of the book include a glossary of terms bibliography and other resources, and a handout on successful training tips.
