Good Book, Great Trainer! June 8, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm a Veterinary Technician, thus get many questions about puppy training and see a number of behavioral "problems waiting to happen". Brian's book and The Art of Raising a Puppy by The Monks of New Skete are the top two books I recommend owners to read. Both books are quick reads -- filled with easy-to-apply positive reinforcement training techniques and give the "whys" behind the behavior.I've seen Brian in action -- he's a high-energy trainer and an entertaining speaker. Within two minutes, he had a 6-month old puppy he'd never seen before following him on leash, watching his every move, and obeying commands in a heartbeat, all done with positive reinforcement. This dog barely followed his owner and would not obey commands until told 3-4 times. I walked away from his seminar with a lot of practical information I could reapply at the vet clinic and at home.
I love this book . It has all the info. a dog owner needs. May 23, 1999

This book is the ultimate book on dog training it has from selecting a puppy, training it, careing for an old dog, to dealing with having your dog pass away. I'm only 10 but I read this book twice last year before I got my puppy. Last summer I got a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and I used all the methods in the book to train her. Now she is a very well behaved dog that is turning 1 in six days. I recommend this book to everyone.

The book is a pure joy. Browsing is such fun. The layout puts all you need, usually, on a two page spread. How easy and obvious it makes my dog, now that I know the way he thinks. Thanks for the treat and the appoarch. Praise works wonders. I wonder if our bosses know this?
This is the book I buy for all my friends January 10, 1999

I train my own dogs for AKC obedience and my friends frequently ask me for help with their pets. This is the book I give them first. It's clear, amusing, practical and Brian really cares about you and your dog. Make this training book the first one on your pet's shelf.
