 Very good seller! November 12, 2008
The seller is so informative and fast. He/she actually shipped my product at a price that is more than what I have paid. The package was nicely wrapped. I'd definitely buy from this seller again.
Understanding your dog October 10, 2008
I read this in the late 80's. It changed my world and my relationship with my dogs ever since. A must have for your library
 outdated, wrong, harsh September 25, 2008
This book presents the state of the art in dog training dating back to about 1975. The techniques are based on punishment, not building a positive relationship with your dog. The techniques will work with SOME dogs, but you will get better results with all dogs by using more modern techniques based on a better understanding of how dogs learn. Check out books by Pat Miller, Patricia McConnell and Jean Donaldson, for a start.
I was pleasantly please September 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The first thing I noticed about this book is how the Monks start right away as "REAL" people who are not trying to sugarcoat the readers eyes with what you expect to read. They have a honest, different approach to training your dog with methods that will not agree with everyone. I believe their techniques are very helpful to anyone who has a larger breed dog but has limited training and behavioral information on the toy breed owners. Even though I have a toy breed, I found that some information in this book was helpful and very resourceful.
can be too harsch for some breeds and temperaments July 31, 2008
The methods in this book will work on many dogs but be dead wrong for certain temperaments and breeds. It is WAY to harsch for my soft goldens.
