Every dog owner must make a choice: Do you want a fearful and submissive pet, or do you want a
happy, joyful, and well-mannered member of the family?
Tamar Geller's mission in life is to teach her cruelty-free method of "life coaching" for dogs and their
people. Her revolutionary play-training uses mutual understanding and respect -- and puts an end to
outdated methods that rely on physical exhaustion, choke chains, prong collars, dominance rollovers, or
stressful aggression of any kind.
A former Israeli intelligence officer who witnessed the horrors of military dog training methods, Tamar
went on to observe wolves in the wild. She discovered that wolves educate and socialize their cubs with
games, bonding, and body language, not dominance or punishment. As a result, she developed
teaching systems that address a dog's authentic nature, part wolflike and part toddlerlike. Learning can
be a positive experience that dogs enjoy and look forward to, and we can actually make it fun for our
dogs to listen to us and behave as we want them to.
Tamar's insights have brought dog training into the twenty-first century, and her groundbreaking
techniques have won the approval of the Humane Society of the United States, for which she is a
longtime advisor. Her celebrity clients include Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Owen
Wilson, and the Osbournes, and she has appeared as an expert on the Today show, The Oprah Winfrey
Show, Animal Planet, and more.
In The Loved Dog, Tamar gives you all the instruction, insights, and tips you need to teach your dog
good manners, as well as to troubleshoot specific problems and unwanted behaviors. She helps you
and your dog learn a common language, resulting in a loving, respectful relationship that will bring you
years of joy and companionship. Tamar's play-training approach is so gentle, even children can get
involved.
Whether you use Tamar's methods to raise a puppy or teach an old dog new tricks, you'll love The Loved
Dog.

Clicker training is a method of teaching behavior to dogs using positive reinforcement. The successive
approximation of desired behavior is marked with a clicker and rewarded with a treat, a toy, or a pat.
Inappropriate behavior is ignored, not punished. In 1985, Karen Pryor published the seminal work on
this method, Don't Shoot the Dog (Bantam), and issued a revision in 1999. Both editions are highly
theoretical and are aimed at the educated, informed lay reader. Tillman, an ergonomics illustrator as
well as a dog trainer and clicker-training instructor, has made Pryor's principles and techniques
accessible to the rank amateur. Using easily understandable text and clear, step-by-step drawings, she
guides the novice through all the steps necessary to teach dogs almost 100 different behaviors, from
basic obedience to housebreaking to tricks. She also applies the principles to the elimination of
problem behavior. While Paul Owens's The Dog Whisperer (LJ 10/1/99) covered much the same
subject matter, Tillman's book teaches the skills through illustrations. Highly recommended for public
libraries. Florence Scarinci, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, NY
