DogRead book of the month July, 200o This book was chose to be on the prestigious 'DogRead' as a book selection of the month. We only do 12 books a year. The author comes on line for the whole month to answer questions on the book. George was very well recieved and his book recieved rave reviews. We found it easy to follow and great for the newbe or the long time owner. It was very well received by our 3000 member email group. The author was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.

The Winning Edge : Show Ring Secrets December 6, 2001

Excellent book. I find this book works well in concert with "Show Me". The information is helpful for the novice and the advancing handler.

I'm not sure who the intended audience is for this book. If you don't already know the terminology of dog showing (such as stacking, gaiting, baiting, etc.) and are truly a novice, you will be clueless. If you already know these terms, the book does not tell you at all how to practice or perform them correctly. There is a section at the end with helpful hints (e.g., suck on a mint if you are anxious as it will hide the adrenaline smell in your saliva from the dog), but otherwise, I found it not very helpful. I would recommend that you borrow this one from a library or friend. Don't waste your money on it.

This book is full of good basic information and helpful reminders. But if it's secrets you are looking for, the real secret is there are none! The emphasis in this book is practice practice practice...I am a beginner and there wasn't anything in the book I had not already heard. Still, a good book with good information.
