Summary: A reasonable book for beginners ...
Comment: A well bound book, quality paper, and reasonable fonts ... all contributing to a solid feel ... with quite good picture illustrations ...

It's written very much with the new doggie owner in mind.

The author takes the reader through all the basic issues commonly faced new owners: how to start basic training (sit, heel, stay), how to cope with jumping & barking dogs, dogs who pulling on the leash, or are slightly nervous or overactive, issues of separation anxiety etc.

The author's training methods are operant based (using treats and positive encouragement), no physical punishment, and generally follow the training trend that is increasingly prevalent today.

The book also offers some insight on why dogs behave the way they do, making mention of pack behaviour and basic forms of doggie communication ... But all explanations are fairly basic and general ...

A good book to get with your first dog, but not quite suitable for the experienced dog owner, who would probably already have acquired most of the information provided in the book ...

An average book, reasonably informative, without being outstanding ... closer to 3 1/2 stars rather than 4.
