(More customer reviews)This book outlines exactly how to train your dog, from picking a puppy, teaching her tricks that will be built upon in formal training, how to ride in a car, how to swim, and how to flawlessly train novice, open, utility, tracking, brace-work, finding lost objects and even how to train your dog to carry the groceries in.
But, this book isn't a load of useless fluff - at its core is how to train your dog to perform with precision. There are no gimmiks like ear pinches or clickers. It is training boiled down to the core of what you need. This isn't to say that there aren't any details - it is the many *important* details that allows one to train with such perfection. Strickland suggests that you read each chapter over several times before you begin training that section.
My dog and I converted from clicker training a few months ago and after a month researching and method-shopping, I stpped here, at this book. I have never looked back. My dog heels with precision, her head high and her tail waving, exited but controlled on the fast, trotting on the normal, and prancing with exitement on the slow(she can't wait for me to speed up and run around, but she never breaks). She drops on signal or command, and stays beautifully. Although we are working on fly-bys on the recall, her method of making a shute with your hands and guiding yor dog into a streight sit(no collar corrections needed, just a light tap on the rump to remind her to sit quickly)s allowing us to swiftly over come this problem. She is almost ready to compete in novice. There is an answer for everything in this book - we haven't run up against a problem that she hasn't had a solution for... I honestly suggest it to anyone getting a dog, pup or adult, pet or obedience prospect. You won't be sorry.
