I haven't read that particular book, but have read others by Karen and clicker trained my last three dogs. It's absolutely transformative, especially if you do "free shaping" where you have a goal in mind and gently nudge the dog towards it. It's remarkable watching the dog think, and figure it out for himself. The dogs all adored it, going nuts whenever the clicker came out. Dogs taught to growl - play, growl - threat, bark - nice, bark - threat, open door, close door, climb in cardboard box and close lid, watch threat, climb on stool and sit, and on. Some things I'd have had no clue how to train by other, more traditional, means. You do end up with a smart-arse dog mind you. :) You also see the same principles at work with people, and parents with their children.
