 Excellent read for any dog owner or trainer March 17, 2006

Reading this book has inspired me to follow my dream to become a dog trainer. The late John Fisher has an excellent understanding of dogs. It is written in a simple way that anyone can understand it. Once I started reading it I couldnt put the book back down. Well worth every penny!

I've read several dog behavior books and worked with dogs for years. This book, however, was disappointing. He begins with the assumption that most dogs owners not only don't know how to train a dog, but actually seriously mistreat their dogs. He presents techniques in two veins. Some involve scaring the dog into doing the right thing by throwing things at him/her or by making a loud noise. Others are reasonable, positive, reward-based strategies, but he presents them as if it were some great, original idea that no one had ever thought of before. There are plenty of much better dog behavior/training books out there that are much better reads.
Great read; Excellent reference March 24, 2000

A quick, easy, and entertaining read that is crammed full of practical and easy-to-use training pointers. Gives readers a basic understanding of dog psychology and guides them in correcting behavior problems with simple steps. Readers should also be able to identify undesirable behaviors at their onset in the future and correct them more easily. Not terribly in-depth in psychology, but extremely effective in training technique. All methods are "dog friendly" and build/reinforce a positive relationship between dog and owner.

I can't think of how many books I've read on dogs. This is my favorite. Each person who asked me how I trained my dog or asked how to solve a problem, I send them my tattered and torn copy. I finally bought a second one. This will help you take a step back and see what YOU are doing wrong while conditioning your body language to communicate to your dog. Easy read.
Marvelous reading! July 18, 1999

I found this to be a fascinating book on dog behavior and understanding of their psyche. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it and I refer to it all the time. I've tried some other books but they never held my interest like this one.
