Book Reviews of the Learning Games
Customer Review: Good stuff, but hard to access
Summary: 2 Stars
There's a lot of promise in this book - if you can penetrate the clumsy grammar and writing style to figure out what Laurence is actually trying to say. I'm not new to clicker training, but I found myself reading the same sentences over and over, trying to extract meaning from them. When I finally did, there was always a much clearer and simpler way to say it. What's more, the book is very poorly proofread, with irritating mistakes on many pages. I've no doubt Laurence is a great dog trainer, but her instructions to us mere humans could be much clearer. My dogs have learned several of these games and we've had fun with them, but the inpenetrability of the writing style has made it a slog for me and spoiled an otherwise very enjoyable experience.
