Summary: This books is a must for the novice trainer
Comment: I've just purchased a copy of 101 Training Tips for Your Dog by Kate Delano Condax and frankly I am quite impressed! I want to thank Dell Publishing Company for having the courage to show the American Pit Bull Terrier in its normal setting, as an intelligent family dog, which is a far cry from the media generated monster. I am a dog trainer and the co-author/publisher of two books reflecting the obedient, domestic natural character of the American Pit Bull Terrier. I work with people everyday who have received contradicting advice from a variety of sources and are totally confused. Finally there is a common sense training book with an A to Z format which is easy to follow and understand. While no one method works on every dog, I find 101 Training Tips to be humane and effective and a must for the novice regardless of which breed they own. I am impressed by the author's obvious love for animals and her honest, down to earth approach to training Man's Best Friend. Of a particular usefulness in any book on dog training is information that deals clearly and honestly on ways to correct aggression in dogs. Most training books I've read either avoid the problem of giving accurate training tips that work on aggression or gloss over the subject. For many people the only answer they can see if the dog is aggressive is to have the dog killed. I believe thousands of lives will be saved by this author giving straightforward information to dog owners about curing aggession. I might add, that in addition to American Pit Bull Terriers, which are perhaps the best tempered canine I work with, I also train other dogs and have on occasion, had to correct aggressiveness in a variety of breeds. In my opinion this book is completely on target regarding this subject. The dog on the cover is particularly charming and reminds me of my very first dog "Brownie" who now lives in my heart and memories.

Summary: Hope it's satire
Comment: My initial reaction to this book, was, of course, outrage. I presumed that the author had either never owned a dog, or was a sadist. Then, I realized that the whole thing had to be satire. It must have been weitten just to get a knee jerk response of anger and outrage. But that gives way to humour, and then outright laughter, as you realize that it's all just fiction. After all, no one who knows and loves dogs would EVER treat one that way!
In retrospect, I'm glad that I borrowed the book rather than purchasing it, as it wasn't really all that funny.

Summary: outdated abusive methods
Comment: As a professional trainer running a very large training school, I'm disappointed to see that these outdated and abusive methods are still out there. This writer still recommends hitting dogs, pushing their noses into messes, and she even recommends use of a "riding bat", which she says is like a riding crop but "sturdier".
The proliferation of positive methods means that nobody should ever again feel they have no option but to hurt their dog and call it dog training. Please read "Positive Puppy Training Works" by Joel Walton, "The Power of Positive Dog Training" by Pat Miller, and other excellent books by more positive trainers. Dog training has really changed for the better since this dog was published!
