Anne and Denise Olejniczak set out to write a definitive book on Junior Showmanship. The result is a book with lessons so self-explanatory that even a junior without access to classes or other advice can pick up "Best Junior Handler" and learn to show at a fairly competitive level. Illustrations and a glossary contribute to the user-friendliness of this book.

A great book on the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Junior Handler!: A Guide to Showing Successfully in Junior Showmanship (Paperback)
The book, Best Junior Handler, states in it's preface that it is basically a text book for the junior handler. The subject matter covers everything from choosing a breed to competing at Westminster as well as history on the event. There is a chapter with information for the more experienced handler. The manner in which Ms. Olejniczak handles the the subject is very relaxed and talks to you rather than at you. She tries to encourage juniors with anecdotes of her own experiences (especially negative ones) during her career, to not only provide comfort to those who have bad days when they or their dogs didn't do well, but also to encourage them to keep on trying when it seems the odds are against them. Junior Handling is just that, HANDLING the dog. This book stresses the importance of the relationship between a handler and his or her dog. However, it also provides information for the handler on how to succeed and comport themselves properly in this sport. No one enters to lose, they want to win. Ms. Olejniczak has provided helpful tips in this book for that purpose. Read it for yourself and find out.

Helpful To The Novice...,
By Alyson "Alyson" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Junior Handler!: A Guide to Showing Successfully in Junior Showmanship (Paperback)
I found this book fairly uninformative for me, but I can see this book being extremely helpful to the novice junior handler. When I read this book, I had already been handling my Flat-coat and English Springer for quite some time and therefore knew a lot of the basics.
Overall Review: Great for the Novice Handler, not so helpful for any handler with a couple years of experience.

This is a great book, I recommed it to anyone who wants to learn how to compete in Jr. Show or just wants to learn to handle! This book is written by a past winner in Jr. Showsmanship, so you really get the scoop on the judges and what they want to see. This book is also great for someone who is already showing in Jr. Showsmanship (like me) and wants some great tips!- buy this one!
