 It gives you an intelligent, gentle approach to training December 29, 1998
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I though this book was super, the authors common sense approach made me say "why didn't I think of that". His techniques are intelligent, as natural as gun-dog training can be, and is always in the best interest of the dog. Shock collar trainers with little patience should read this book. Did ya know actually loving a dog can make them want to work for you? Electricution isn't the only way. Also the tips from the other trainers were insightful, and very valuable. A Great Book!
 Very little "how to" in this book. October 23, 1998

The author pulls together several training masters to give your their concept of training but leaves you with little advise on how you should train. I do not recommend this book. Returned my copy.
