Sound advice that works

I have a lab, and originally purchased Labrador's for Dummies by Joel Walton -- since I'm not a very experienced dog owner. I was immediately impressed with how well the positive-training techniques by Joel worked. But when I went to purhcase other books, I noticed that many other authors took a much harsher stand on punishment -- and really fixated on the whole alpha dog concept. So I investigated further, and soon learned that many proponents of the "positive training" methods credited Ian Dunbar. So I knew I had to have Dunbar's book.

At first, I was turned off by the wordy format, and pictures of a bearded guy from the '70s. I was worried that the book may be too philosophical, and not practical enough. But I puchased the book anyway.

Man, I sure am glad that I purchased this book. The wordy passages are filled with a wealth of information. Whereas other books offer brief, simplistic instruction -- this book offers an in-depth explanation. It is a great complement to my Labrador for Dummies book.

I also found his tone to be light and humorous -- and honest. It is quite easy to read, and holds my attention. But most of all -- this stuff really, really works. My dog is doing great -- I've never had such success training a dog before.

A Must For New Dog Owner

Step by step, effective, useful, reading to learn to mold your dog so that life is more fun "enjoyable" for you and your pet. Head and shoulders over other dog training books I've read.

I enjoyed reading this book. It gets into a dog's head. It may be a little common sense at times, but not everyone has common sense. A good book to buy that combines training with dog behavior.

Fun training with toys, treats, lures and rewards. Easy and effective, dog-friendly techniques for teaching a new puppy old tricks (such as basic manners), or for teaching an older dog that is new to training.

Heralded by many dog trainers as 'the best dog training book ever written'. A comprehensive workbook for the motivated dog owner, comprising sections on basic off-leash obedience, temperament modification, behavior troubleshooting, training theory and health care. The definitive text for lure/reward training philosophy.
