This book is going to change our lives! June 18, 1999

I'm reading Good Owners, Great Dogs cover to cover before I make any more mistakes. I wish I had read it while our terriers were still alive, but our 2 retired greyhound racers will greatly benefit from our newly discovered communication skills. Even for someone with no interest in training, this book would provide valuable information on the thought process of our best friends. I would love to take one of Mr. Kilcommons' classes.

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?
