[Allison · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was expecting a book that would cover fitness programs and how to start on. Instead it's a book that covered diseases and injuries. Not a bad thing, but the title really doesn't describe the contents as I expected.

If I wasn't a vet nurse, just an average Jo Dog Owner, this book would be great (with amended title). It's simple, easy to read and covers a broad range of conditions that would/could affect a competition dog.

I wanted to give 4 stars, but gave 3 for the fact the book wasn't what I hoped the title promised.
