No long lectures about dogs not having feelings or that being kind to your pet will result in a vicious dog. Little quips from trainers, most under 150 words. Well organized. Photos on every page. Pick it up, read a few quick ideas about how to handle on issue, then you can put it down without thinking you'll forget complex instructions. If you don't like one expert, you might the next. Sort of fun to flip around in it, too.

fantastic information, a wonderful resource

[Marcela · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is a pretty good book for those pet parents that want answers to ther questions in a very succinct manner from different trainers with their own particular approaches and experiences. Not good for those pet parents that want a lot more in depth knowledge about training their dogs.

Quick, helpful tips for raising a well behaved dog. They’re alphabetized and many world renowned trainers weigh in on their thoughts to each tip.
