I found this book to be invaluable in helping me to train my two dogs--one, a puppy, and one, a stubborn hound. It also helped me to understand and train myself and how I relate to my dogs. The language is cute and lively too. Filled with excellent advice, in an easy-to-read format, without having to wade through extraneous stuff that fills so many dog training books.

Very useful book, with easy answers for training my dog. Sarah Hodgson (sp?) is very knowledgeable and makes everything easy to understand, and helps me see the dog's point of view.
