Many times the best items are not
found in the pet shops in the mall or in the pet aisle
at the grocery store. We have stocked our
(virtual) shelves with items and information that we
believe will give you and your pet a better relationship
and give your dog a happier and healthier life.
 
The How of Bow Wow
The How of Bow Wow is positively top
tier for those learning clicker
training. For beginners, the video
takes you through the basics of
clicker training and the training of
foundation skills that every dog and
handler need. For the clicker
trainer that knows these basics, the
video takes you through important
skills like maximizing the power of
rewards and getting to fluency. The
video is more expensive than earlier
Bow Wow tapes but its longer run
time, quality videography, and
content depth make it worth it.
Highly recommended.

 Reaching
the Animal Mind
by Karen Pryor
Every book will be autographed by
Karen and will come with a free i-Click
clicker!
Here’s what the author tells us
about her newest book:
“This is a book about loving,
understanding, and communicating
with animals. Animals are a lot
smarter and more aware than we used
to think. Now you can share my
personal experiences training and
communicating with animals ranging
from an elephant to a hermit crab.
You’ll learn how you, too, can bring
out the intelligence, personality,
warmth, even humor, in dogs, cats,
horses, and other pets, and have fun
doing it, too.”
The next level of
information
“Lots of people are already
trying to use a clicker, but may not
be using it right. Other folks are
skeptical about using food, or can’t
see how you could train without
punishment. I interviewed some of
the leading neuroscientists in the
US to get you some new answers to
those questions and more. And, it
turns out this technology is not
just for animals! In my new book
you’ll learn how clicker training
methods can teach people positively,
too.”
Value added on the web
After the book’s publication date,
June 16, 2009, go online at
www.reachingtheanimalmind.com to
see clicker training pictures, video
clips, live links, and downloadable
pdfs for each chapter of the book.
About the author
Karen Pryor is the founder and CEO
of Karen Pryor Clicker training, and
the author of many books including Don’t Shoot the Dog.
Every book will be autographed by
Karen and will come with a free i-Click
clicker!

New! Many clicker trainers consider the
training bag (or treat bag) an
essential piece of equipment.
Getting the features clicker
trainers want, at a price that makes
sense, is the challenge. Inexpensive
bags usually lack features, and
feature-rich bags have been
expensive in the past.
Here's our new design. Feature
rich. Great price. We think you'll
love it. Our testers (trainers, dog
walkers, and pet owners) certainly
do!
Clicker train anywhere, anytime
with this treat bag at your side!
-
Fast
open/shut: Have your
hands free to train. Pop the bag
open with one-hand touch. Close
it securely with one hand touch.
Stays open when you want it to
and closed when you want it to;
no flap to get in the way.
-
Hold
plenty of treats: Who
wants to refill all the time?
-
Wide-mouth opening:
Easily get your hand in and out!
-
Gusseted bottom:
Our bag
stays upright on a flat surface;
a really useful design feature
that most people don't think
about. Allows you to use the bag
for training when it's NOT on
your hip!
-
Roomy,
outside mesh pocket:
Non-food storage is essential.
Securely holds
your wallet, keys, cell phone,
supply of poop bags, and other
items you carry. Your iPod, too!
-
Glide
placement:
Easily lets
you switch the bag on your left,
right, or behind you, while you
wear it, enabling you to keep it
out of sight.
-
D-ring:
Hook on your keys or clicker!
-
Target pocket:
The right
size for our extendable target
stick.
-
Lightweight:
You'll enjoy
having it along with you for all
activities from walking to
running—in the backwoods, at the
seashore, or in competition!

Summary
Manners Minder is a training tool
that employs solid clicker training
principles and is a great addition
to our training lineup. It’s good
for beginner clicker trainers and
fabulous for experienced trainers,
teachers, and clubs. Manners Minder
eliminates teaching treat delivery
so that pet owners can focus solely
on their timing—a big plus for
beginners. Experienced trainers will
love using this well-made product
for teaching targeting and when
training a dog to work at a distance
from the trainer. Highly
recommended!
How it works
It’s clicker training, of course! A
remote-control device triggers a
base unit to issue a short tone, and
then dispense a treat. When your
dog's behavior deserves
reinforcement, you press the remote
control, the sound marks the good
behavior, and the reward follows.
What’s included
-
Food dispenser
-
Hand-held remote control
-
Target wand and removable
stand
-
Instruction guide and
training DVD
Four (4) D batteries are
required, but not included.
Product history
Karen Pryor helped veterinarian
Sophia Yin (the original product
designer) define the operant
conditioning principles of
MannersMinder.
The product was
originally sold only by Sharper
Image. Subsequently, the product was
picked up by Premier, improved, and
renamed.

Sometimes you need a longer target
stick when training behaviors at
arm’s reach, and sometimes you want
a shorter target stick when working
your dog close by. Now you can do it
all with just one tool. Our pocket
extendable target goes from pocket
size (6") to full size (21") with a
flick of your wrist. The bright
yellow ball on the tip makes your
target easy for any dog to locate.
Keep the extendable target stick in
your pocket for training anywhere,
anytime.
The P.E.T. measures 6" closed, 21"
extended.
For medium and small dogs
only!

The Clik Stik
"The Clik Stik combination frees up
one of the trainer's hands. This
combination means there's one less
piece of equipment to drop, juggle
or lose!" — Terry Ryan
The new
Clik Stik Training Tool is a clicker
on a collapsible stick—perfect for
trick and target training! Target
extends to 23 inches, and handle
includes a belt clip for easy
carrying.
-
The Clik Stik
is fully telescoping from 6 to
23 inches.
-
All in one
clicker and retractable target
stick.
-
Includes
Terry Ryan's training guide!
|

|
|
 The
Tipsee Target
The Tipsee Target stands on flat
surface and when its knocked over it
bounces back up. This is an
invaluable teaching for teaching
targeting and for teaching your dog
to work at a distance away from you
and it saves all the headaches of a
re-setting. The base also separates
from the telescoping (23 inches)
target so that it can be used as an
excellent target stick with an easy
to see 'fat head' giving you two
targets in one!
It is also an
Replacement/additional target for
the one in the Manners Minder.

Too much to hold?
Try our Hands-Free Leash!
Teaching loose-leash walking can
be frustrating for dog and trainer
alike. How do you click and treat
when your hands are holding onto a
leash? The answer is our new
ergonomic Hands-Free Leash. Designed
to give you complete and total
freedom of movement with a padded
belt, it includes an adjustable
leash with a quick-release safety
buckle. Recommended by clicker
trainers, the Hands-Free Leash
discourages the habit of relying on
the leash to correct or physically
manipulate the dog, so that you can
focus on capturing and reinforcing
correct behavior. Also ideal for
running with your dog and multiple
dog walking.
-
The 9"
connector leash works with two
different leash lengths — for
city walking or country hiking
-
A built-in
handle features a hook and loop
strap so you can detach from
your dog quickly if you need to
-
Waist belt
adjusts to 50 inches

"This is not a clicker book and not
really a training book either, but
it’s a light, easy workbook for kids
and adults about understanding a
dog. It explains how dogs think,
what they care about, how they react
to you, what’s hard for them, what’s
easy for them—all in pictures and
clear short messages. Heartily
recommended training gift or
additional reference for new pet
owners." - Karen Pryor
Busted! I'm a Peoples, You're a Dog
helps adults and children to "see
the world through our dog's eyes".
This book gives simple yet important
training tips such as:
-
Know what we want to train and
how we want to train it before
we engage with our dogs
-
Be generous with praise and
rewards. That way dogs will move
information more quickly from
short-term to long-term memory.
-
Our dogs tell us moment by
moment where they are
emotionally, so train
accordingly. Be flexible.
-
If our dogs are slow
to motivate, study their ways to
see what perks them up, maybe
hot dogs or a certain squeaker
toy, then use that.
