5.0 out of 5 stars Essential book for Dog Owners, January 3, 2004

This review is from: Positive Perspectives: Love Your Dog, Train Your Dog (Paperback)

As a dog trainer myself who often turns to Pat Miller's journal articles for more information on how to effectively prevent or solve behavior problems, I was delighted to see her newest book published, since it serves as such a handy professional reference. However, in spite of the fact that Pat's book has enough depth to be an excellent learning resource for professionals, and I think it is one that every trainer should have in his/her library, Pat actually writes with the average pet owner in mind. Her warm, witty, "user-friendly" style makes it easy for even novice pet owners to read and understand what they need to know to communicate clearly with dogs, to build a great relationship with their dogs, and to handle problems along the way in a fair and gentle way. Another plus is that Pat includes a review of the latest dog products and equipment, some updates and advances in veterinary care and a resource/information list for further reading. If you are a dog owner who sometimes wishes that you knew a great trainer you could consult with, buying Pat Miller's book is one of the next best things you can do. As a long time advocate for dog-friendly training methods, Pat is one of the shining lights of the dog training profession and her latest book is an ideal companion to accompany anyone taking that wonderful journey with a dog from puppyhood to old age.

This review is from: Positive Perspectives: Love Your Dog, Train Your Dog (Paperback)

I've got every dog training book under the sun and this book is one of the best if not THE best! I was introduced to Pat Miller's work through The Whole Dog Journal (another must have publication for dog owners) and was overjoyed when she came out with this book. She covers everything including common problems. Her writing is down to earth and very practical. While most dog training books repeat the same information, Positive Perspectives brings new, fresh techniques and approches to the table. Whether you are a new dog owner or a seasoned trainer you will not regret adding this book to your collection!

As a dog trainer/lover/owner, I find this book incredibly helpful. Already and Pat Miller fan who teaches her methods and who owns and uses her book The Power of Positive Dog Training for reference constantly, I was thrilled when this book was published. I reccomend it to all my clients because it is easy to read and understand and is written in a way that won't intimidate non-professionals. I just bought a copy as a present for a friend who is getting a new puppy and who, I am sure, will call me at all hours of the day with puppy questions. With this book, my friend can get clear and helpful answers and hopefully build confidence as a new dog owner as she experiences how quickly and how well Pat's methods work.
Great book, when is the video coming, Pat?
