Description
While preparing one of her books, the author spent some time at a school for animal trainers. While observing students training monkeys, emus, cheetahs, and other creatures, she picked up a few techniques that proved effective even in the case of a somewhat more advanced animal – her husband Scott. She then published an article about it in The New York Times, which became the most viewed and shared article of the Times in 2006. This success prompted Amy Sutherland to elaborate on her insights about behavioral techniques applied to both animals and humans in a book. It is something between a memoir, a guide, and a manual on animal psychology. Thanks to the author's original and entertaining approach, we learn, for example, why rewards work better than punishments or what the method of minimal reinforcement is. Alternatively, we simply gain tips on how to effectively deal with the irritating behavior of our loved ones.
