My Comments
I absolutely loved this book, and cannot recommend it enough! I have sticky-notes in all of the chapters, and I find myself constantly referring to the section on raising a puppy. This book is worth its weight in gold!
The training method proposed by this book is perfection, with one tiny exception; As the owner of a working dog, assuming you will eventually want to do some form of bitework, you do not want to discourage mouthing in the puppy. I ignored this section of the book, but the rest of it is applicable to anyone raising a puppy or training an adult dog. This book is full of photos (although black and white, unfortunately) and anecdotal stories that will keep even the pickiest reader interested. |
