Customer Reviews

Fantastic training book
I own quite a lot of dog trainnig books and this is one of hte best. Brilliant positive dog training methods writing in an interesting way. Clear step by step trianing course at the end of the book. A must for dog owners trainers and those interested in dog behaviour

Wonderful book
This book is highly recommended. Its wonderful. Explains how and why positive training methods work, and why its futile to punish your dog for so called bad behaviour. It instructs you on how to train your own dog using positive methods and clicker training. It is a great book and not all jargonistic or verbose. Everyone should read it!

First class
I have read many books on training and this is one of the best. It is easy to understand and a great help to a first time owner as well as someone with more experiance. Highly recommended.
