This review is from: Educating Your Dog with Love and Understanding: The Basics of Appropriate Training for All Dogs, from Puppyhood Through Adulthood (Petcare) (Paperback)

In case you're wondering: no, I am not related to the author, but I sincerely believe that this is one of the most effective, accessible, and concise dog training manuals ever written. If you've ever dreamed of having the "perfect" obedient dog, this book will help that dream come true.

I wish that I would have had access to this invaluable information when my family acquired our yellow Labrador puppy 15 years ago. If you are considering a puppy (or even if you already have a dog), please buy this book and make sure every member of your family reads it.

Not only does the author give clear and relevant guidance for training your dog, she also provides revealing insights into a dog's psychological makeup, and the powerful influence of the pack mentality that dogs inherited from their wolf ancestors.

This book is only 63 pages long, easy-to-read, and fascinating. Unless you happen to already be a successful professional dog trainer, there is NO reason not to own this book.

Any dog owner, whether 8 or 80 years old, whether experienced or not will benefit immensely from the guidance provided in this book. You owe to yourself and to your dog to buy this book, read it AND apply its wisdom.

Good luck and Happy Training!
