5.0 out of 5 stars For Rottie and Rottie-mix Owners, a *Must Have* Book!, November 24, 1999

By 

Joan H. Walker - See all my reviews

This review is from: Training Your Rottweiler (Training Your Dog) (Paperback)

Barb McNinch is not only an excellent professional trainer, she is also an outstanding Rottie person. In this book, McNinch goes far beyond a basic,generic training book and presents the reader with a training program tailormade to the Rottweiler. Readers of this book will come away with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for their Rottweilers, as well as the ability to train their puppies and dogs to truly be good canine citizens. I would highly recommend this book to Rottie owners, as well as owners of Rottie mixes. If the Rottie-mix has taken on any characteristics of the Rottweiler, this book will be of great help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barb McNinch KNOWS Rottweilers Are SPECIAL!, August 21, 2000

By 

Elizabeth Reynolds (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Training Your Rottweiler (Training Your Dog) (Paperback)

A Rottweiler is a VERY special breed of dog! It takes intelligence, patience and dedication to train and love one! And the REWARDS are phenomenal. Barb McNinch has demonstrated that she has all THREE of the above qualities and shares them in her book, "Training Your Rottweiler". Her experience with the breed SHINES THROUGH in print! Not only are her training and problem solving tips extremely useful and SPECIFIC to the breed, but she also clearly outlines and explains the wide variety of activities that Rottweiler owners can engage in with their dogs. This book is VERY MUCH worth the purchase price! And we are EAGERLY waiting for her NEXT BOOK!!! <g>

This review is from: Training Your Rottweiler (Training Your Dog) (Paperback)

I bought this book in preparation for purchasing my new Rottweiler pup. And I must say, it has prepared me. The book is well illustrated and easy to understand. My rating is Brilliant! A big thanks to the author. Training your Rottweiler covers so much: What to look for when buying a pup, character and personality traits of Rottweilers, Children and Rottweilers, Socialising your pup, Training methods and tools, etc. The list goes on. In my personal opinion - If you are a prospective Rottweiler owner and want information... this is the book for you. Thanks Barbara for a great book!
