If you already know you want to work on clicker training your dog, Clickertraining – the 4 Secrets of Becoming a Super Trainer by Cecilie Koeste & Morten Egtvedt is available straight away as a downloadable pdf, includes a number of online videos, and gives you a good understanding of the whys and hows of clicker training as well as simple to follow processes to get you started. (If you can ignore the rather ‘salesy’ page the link will take you to – the book is worth reading!)
