Summary: Worthy of a Spot on Your Bookshelf
Comment: This book gets put down a lot because it has a couple of flaws. However, overall, it is a great book on Dog Training, and it contains a lot of information the person trying to train their dog really needs to know. This book helps you get inside your dog's head and understand why he does and does not listen. It puts the world as your dog sees it in perspective and shows you how to communicate on his level so you can help him understand exactly what is expected of him.
If you read this book you will become someone who can control their dog and have a happy, obedient canine companion.

Summary: Review from another veterinary technician
Comment: Like another reviewer, I am also a veterinary technician and I strongly disagree with her dismissal of many things in this book on the basis that the authors aren't "medically trained". These authors are very experienced and respected people in the dog training/health fields. Their advice on rabies vaccination timing and commercial dog foods are, I believe, valid. The veterinary field (vets and technicians)is not a monolithic block. I personally know many licensed veterinarians
who agree wholehearedly with the health issues in this book. As someone who has a degree in veterinary technology (plus human physical therapy) I am dismayed by the attitude of many of my colleagues that vettech/vet school is the only place to receive valid training and information. There is minimal training inbehavior and nutrition.
I have found that the Volhard's training methods work quite well, and they are also followed and respected by many canine breeding/training professionals.

Summary: Get a better dog training book
Comment: There are so many dog training books that are so much better, like, anything by Carol Lea Benjamin, or Job Michael Evans, The Evans Guide for Housetraining Your Dog by Job Michael Evans,
Reading The Dog's Mind: Learning to Train from the Dog's Point of View by John Holmes, Mary Holmes, Dog Behavior: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet by Ian Dunbar, Right from the Start: Care and Training for the Life of Your Dog
by Race Foster, Marty Smith, How Dogs Learn by Mary R. Burch, Jon S. Bailey, Puppy Care and Training: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet by Bardi McLennan , All Dogs Need Some Training by Liz Palika Yhe Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior ,by Bruce Fogle,Dog Training for Kids,by Carol Lea Benjamin , Dog Training: An Owners Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet by Amy Ammen Dog Training for Children and Parents by Michael Tucker, Mother Knows Best: The Natural Way to Train Your Dog,by Carol Lea Benjamin What All Good Dogs Should Know: The Sensible Way to Train by Jack Volhard, A-Z Of Dog Training and Behavior,by Patrick Holden, Kay White Dog-Friendly Dog Training by Andrea Arden ---- just to name a few!
