Through this book, Mr. Alston gives you the mental and physical skills that you WILL need to go head to head with professional handlers. As George points out, the dog show arena is the only event where your entry fee alone allows you to compete with professionals without any prior experience.
I recommend reading this books and if at possible, attend his seminar (audit the first time, then participate with your dog the 2nd time). Trust me, it will make all the difference in the world...more

The book is very good for those who are starting out with their first show dog.
This book did have some good pointers and information on showing your dog, but over all the take home message I got was that you will never be as good as the professional handlers, so get used to losing to them. I don't think this was the message the author intended, but just what I personally took away from the book. Overall, good tips, though in some ways it was discouraging.
