The big news this month is the publication of my new book, Click to Win, Clicker Training for the Show Ring. This is a collection of my articles from the AKC Gazette on using the clicker to give your dog the skills to do its very best in the show ring, time after time. It also includes three articles on the experimental master class I taught here in Boston, an article on clicking puppies in the litter, and more.
