This review is from: See Spot Sit: 101 Illustrated Tips for Training the Dog You Love (Paperback)

This little book is just charming. Carol Lea Benjamin is a renowned dog trainer, and each page is a little nugget of information with a cute illustration of the topic. For people with trained dogs, it is a reminder of the little things that can still be pursued and advanced. For people new to training their dogs, it is a guide in very simple terms to what you can do with your dog. It is not a training manual, with step by step directions on how to train your dog to ....sit, stay, roll over, etc. Those are available elsewhere. But it is entertaining and inspirational!
