Comprehensive and easy to understand!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As a long time dog lover that has a pack of 5 dogs living under my roof I found this book to be very comprehensive and to the point. Ms. Babineau addresses not only basic training for newbies and more advanced training for those that are ready, but also addresses issues that often creep up later on such as barking and digging. Her instructions are concise and easy to understand and apply...and very effective. Like children, not all dogs learn the same way and she has suggestions for some gentle tools that can prove to be quite helpful in training an easily distractible dog. This is one of the books that I most often recommend to new puppy owners.
