I purchased this thinking it was a book, not a brochure/pamphlet. It has good information, but I could have found the info online, printed it out, stapled it together and had a more substantial product.

I had this good, easy to understand book some time ago. When my niece's teenage son got a high energy dog he loved but had no idea how to teach manners, this was my choice to send him. He understood the book and the dog understood him! It's basic, necessary training for a dog who wants to be a family member. Sensible stuff for all dogs and owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book covering the critical basics!, December 17, 2011

I took a puppy training course from Gwen in 1990 in Palo Alto CA when I had a Chocolate Lab puppy. The course was critical and prepared my partner & I for a 15 year relationship with the dog (who turned out to be one of the best dogs ever). I now find myself awaiting delivery of a Labradoodle in the spring and look forward to refreshing my knowledge of the well-mannered dog.
