Expert Obedience Training for Dogs, Fourth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(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.

The Sit Down Come Heel Stay and Stand Book: A Step-by-step Dog Training Achievement Program Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I will soon begin conducting dog training with prison inmates, and we selected this book to use as the manual. It covers all the basics; it has great pictures of each step and shows techniques to use when problems occur. It also has a wonderful place to chart the progress of the dog, so when the inmate training is completed and the dogs are placed for adoption, the book will be able to accompany the dog. The new owner will then know what was done during the training so they can replicate the techniques. If you're looking for something to take the dog beyond the basics, I'd suggest augmenting this book with a more advanced book, such as "101 Dog Tricks" - but this is an excellent book for beginners.

Dingo Devotionals: Learning to Heel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides a series of easy to read, genuine, down to earth devotionals that includes humor and inspiration. I was moved by the author's personal testimony and loved the thought provoking descriptions relating the Christian walk to dog training. Who would have thought the two would relate? I couldn't put it down. The art work is amazing and the cover photography appealing!

Learn about the Master while training your best friend Training your dog to come when called is hard. Putting down that third brownie is even harder. Discipline and obedience are not exactly welcome words for dogs or people. Dingo Devotionals will show you how living within boundaries is not restrictive but the most liberating choice we can make. Author and boarding kennel owner Lynne Scott noticed the parallels between dog training and faith in God while taking her dogs through obedience classes. Struggling with her own spiritual journey during her husband's battle with Lou Gehrig's disease, dogs in Lynne's care and the on-going training of her Australian Cattle dog, Foster, brought home the message of Trust the Master. Wise and humorous, Dingo Devotionals provides a unique perspective at the intersection of life and faith.
