This book made sense

My wife and I read this cover to cover. Very simple to understand and it seemed to work with our new little pup. Stick to the rules, be consistent. You will need another book after getting through the basic stages, but a great start
Very Good Ideas

I really enjoyed reading the book. It sounded great on paper, but because I am a novice and first time dog owner, it was easier to read than put into action. The shaking/tossing can trick did wonders in the beginning, but according to the book, you have to keep it a secret from the dog that it is you who is tossing the can. Well, needless to say this was almost impossible. My pup put two and two together in no time and suddenly the can trick didn't work anymore. Also, it was difficult to teach my dog to heel without seeing a trainer do it in person. But I really like Fabian's attitude and many other things about the book, so it's worth reading and taking what you can from it.
Written in an easy-to-read and use manner.

I have self-trained my dog to work as a seizure alert dog for me and I know that if I had had this book to guide me back then, it would have been a lot easier. Written in a way that makes the reader think he or she is having a private training session, Ms. Arden and Mr. Robinson have combined to make a winning volume. There is no doubt that they can train any dog to be a most wonderful companion.
