5.0 out of 5 stars If you have a sheltie, get this book., August 2, 2001
This is quite easily the most useful sheltie book that I own. Most books about shelties are slim volumes that talk about grooming, the breed history, and a little about temperment. This book dives right in to telling you how to housebreak your sheltie, how to train them to sit, heel, come and stay, and more. It covers a little about competing with shelties in obedience, agility, and herding, and has tons of wonderful pictures. It's full of great, practical, advice. If you're a new dog owner, you should really pick up this book and read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Sheltie is the Breed for you--this is your book!, April 29, 2002
By rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Agree with with other reviewer that this is a great resource for sheltie owners, or propsective owners. She's correct in providing the background to why Shelties aren't the breed for everyone, as they demand attention.

She provides needed tips on how to keep the Shelties in your life happy and you in turn happy with them! They do need to work and she provides training tips on doing just that.

Info is provided on selection, stages of development, early puppy training, basic obedience, formal training, problem prevention and solutions, and advanced sports and activities.

We have our two Shelties through obedience and now into agility and can vouch how much fun this breed truly is. This book will aid your enjoyment of this intelligent and loyal breed.

2.0 out of 5 stars too vague to be useful for training
This book provides some useful tips on choosing a Sheltie, but I think most people who buy a book like this have already bought one and want to train it! Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Train your Shetland Sheepdog
I was disappointed in this book. It was a "read between the lines" kind of book. Was not helpful in training my dog at all.
