Reviews

[Priyam Roy]

Thought this was a pretty decent read with some really cool pictures, but I also was a bit disappointed with the lack of useful information. It felt like a book written by someone who has/had a labrador, rather than a professional who works with them and trains them. A few times the author simply suggested the solution to a problem was simply to consult a professional, which isn't really helpful at all.
