All of the following are available through the library and each one is excellent. There are many books and videos on clicker training. Most are very good. You will just need to check out a few and use the ones that work best for you. Sources for purchasing include www.amazon.com and www.dogwise.com.
Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor
The Bible for operant conditioning. As she says the book, "...it is not about training your dog. It is about training anything with a brain stem". She also has a clicker book and video (below) that are available through the library.
Video demonstrating the use of the clicker in real training situations.
Short pamphlet but a very good quick reference.
Excellent for understanding the difference between humans and dogs. Gives good advice on correcting problem behaviors.
Specific answers to specific questions, mostly dealing with dog on dog aggression.
Cannot recommend it enough. Really helps you understand the world from the dog's point of view.
For reactive or leash aggressive dogs.
Understanding emotion in you and your dog. Great read, inclusive without being technical.
Very specific responses to specific training issues. Done in a question and answer format with good cross referencing between related problems.
Not really about training, but it will help you understand your dog in a different way than you are used to.
Not about dog training at all, but you will enjoy it. It is an account of his search through Scotland and Ireland for a border collie. We learned more about herding from this book than anywhere else.
An absolute must for anyone who wants to know what is going on inside their dog.
Worth reading. The companion video is available and it is very good.
