 Get Double Pleasure from this book! June 13, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I enjoyed this practical little booklet, but it is twice as useful and entertaining if you read it aloud and substitute the word "man" [or a man's name] for the word "dog" [or a dog's name]. I gave it to my sister when she adopted one of my foster dogs, and we had a jolly and educational time reading it "both ways". Anything by Patricia McConnell is a "must-read" for those of us who love interaction with our dogs!
Great book, Great author May 28, 2007

My husband and I really found this little book helpful. We've also given it as a gift to family and friends who have dogs. It's info I believe every dog owner should find useful. Patricia McConnell writes in a very practical way, and her understanding for, and kindness toward dogs are between all the lines. Don't miss it. It's short, but well worth the price. (Her other books are very good, too.)
 Somewhat Helpful Booklet May 12, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
There is definitely some helpful tips in this little booklet on how to convey to your canine companions that you are the leader of their family pack, but most of it was information I'd already come across in other puppy rearing/dog training books. The information was simple and to the point, so if all you want to know about is how to be the leader, then this book is for you. I think I would have liked this book much better, however, if there had been a more thorough discussion of what's going on in a dog's mind in respect to what they're looking for in a leader, how to tell if your dog is truly trying to lead you (and not just taking advantage of a leadership void), etc. When ordering this book, I hadn't paid any attention to how many pages it contains, so I was expecting more.
 What a RIP-OFF!! April 28, 2007

Okay, so I'm the fool who was soon parted from my money. This teensy twelve page pamphlet is smaller than those free brochures at your doctor's office and contains far more MISinformation. Amazon should be ashamed for peddling this.
A Brief, Concise Guide to Establishing Gentle Leadership April 9, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a professional dog trainer, Patricia McConnell's booklets are one of the materials that I hand out to clients. Unlike some of the force-based methods that have unfortunately made a resurgence lately, McConnell clearly (and often humorously) explains how to establish leadership without using physical force. Her writing style is straightforward and down-to-earth, which makes digesting the information effortless. Anyone looking for an in-depth book should purchase The Other End of the Leash by McConnell as well, but this booklet is an excellent resource in and of itself, and I highly recommend it along with all of her other publications.
