5.0 out of 5 stars
Probably saved my dog's (and my own) life,
By
This review is from: Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog (Paperback)
Whoever said that CU is geared to help calm, normal dogs and not reactive dogs is really really missing the point. CU is all about molding calm dogs from previously reactive dogs. I have a reactive agility dog, and, amazingly, so do many many other people. Once one understands what reactivity is (the book explains rather well), one will start to realize that A LOT of performance dogs are reactive and/or very stressed. Zoomies anyone? It's not just excitement! Stress sniffing anyone? Tuning one's handler out and "shutting down"? "Ring nerves"? "But s/he does so well at home"? Most agility competitors have probably experienced one of these things (I know I sure have!). I find it rather callous to say that these dogs do not belong in agility, as was noted by a previous poster. WE have created these artificial stresses on these dogs, and it is up to us to help them learn how to cope with these stress triggers. WE need to help our dogs learn to cope. And that is EXACTLY what Leslie helps us do.
All of her methods are geared towards helping us help our dogs be calm. Reactive dogs are over the top! We need to teach them how to get back under the threshold and stay there and work with us. It is an amazing, beautiful thing, and I've seen the beauty firsthand (have been to CU seminars and am on the Yahoo! group). Bottom line: If you have a reactive, stressing, sniffy, fearful, etc. agility dog, and you're just itching to help your dog feel better, CU is for you.

Lots of new information,
By Zazu (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog (Paperback)
I've read quite a few training books recently - and this is one of the best. It contains lots of new information that doesn't appear in other training books, and is all based on positive training. Definately no collar corrections or prong collar suggested here!
Highly highly recommended. Particularly if you have a fearful dog.

Geared towards agility and conformation participants,
By
This review is from: Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog (Paperback)
While this book claims to be for the average dog owner who is interested in having a better relationship with his/her dog and use positive techniques for training and behavior mod, I really felt that it was geared strongly towards participants in obedience and agility competitions.
If you are interested in either of these things, then this book is GREAT for taking your relationship with your dog in a new direction. And, it's all about positive reinforcement, which is awesome...b/c it's so nice to reward them for the good stuff.
