Great Book
Rating:
Wish I had this book when I first got my dog. Made a lot of mistakes in the beginning and paid for it. Biggest mistake was not taking the role of pack leader and as a result was challenged quite a bit. Fortunately, after watching a lot a dog training programs prior to reading this book, it reinforced what I had already learned and now practice from the television. Had I gotten this book first, I would have saved on a lot time in front of the tube.
Anyway, this is a great little book because it gets right to the point without you spending hours upon hours with another book thats probably 200 pages or more. What is it 5 or 6 pages? So you are done in two shakes with more knowledge about how to properly interact with your dog as opposed to someone who may not have researched before hand or even had any prior experience with a canine.
Highly recommend it for any first time dog owner!!!!
Solid advice for understanding your dog
Rating:
The book provides good advice for training your dog especially if you have a dog with aggression or other tough behavior issues.
Not worth paying for
Rating:
The information in this PAMPHLET is in all of her books so not even worth paying for. Altho I love her approach to training and she has much helpful info in all of her books I felt this was just an effort to get a few bucks extra.
Great Little Book~ Perfect for the new dog owner
Rating:
This is a wonderful book for Dog Trainers to recommend or give to their clients & students for their first lesson or class. Patricia McConnell is great and this book gets right to the point and is small enough for a new student to read and not be overwhelmed with too much training theory and long explanation. Worth reading for the experienced trainer also.
Good pamplet for the clueless
Rating:
This pamphlet has 12 briefly explained points on how to be the leader of your dog. Most of them are obvious. Actually there wasn't a single thing in this pamphlet that taught me something new. You can learn all of this through a google search of NILF (nothing in life is free). Some of the tips are: don't alpha roll your dog, initiate play and end it, teach your dog to heel, don't let your dog demand attention. Most people know these things, I think? I knew the pamphlet was short but I thought it would have some insightful tips and commentary, but nope. This may be worth 50 cents, but not 4 bucks.
