This book gives great insight into the mind of a K-9. It’s a great training aid as well as a good read. Rating: 5 / 5

This was a good informative book about dogs and their nature. This was my first book, since I was getting a dog for the first time, and I must say I have learned a lot from this book and it prepared before getting my first dog. Rating: 3 / 5

Putting old, outdated methods on a DVD doesn’t make them “new” again. The ever present dog food company plugs were also quite annoying. There are better choices out there see Patricia Mc Connell’s publications. Rating: 1 / 5

Let me begin by saying that the authors manage to deliver at least a few good points on dog behavior and training (overall) throughout the book; however, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who hasn’t at least a little (good) background knowledge of dogs before reading the ideas of the authors. I personally found the authors’ style of writing rather displeasing, making it difficult to finish the book. I had high hopes for this book, based upon the previous reviewers’ rankings. Rating: 3 / 5

In the domesticated animal world I have noticed that animals I want/need to train don’t speak English. They speak who’sthebiggest. They use biting and kicking (horse, ouch)to communicate. I was looking for a book that would help me communicate to a very wily puppy that our family is ahead of him in the pecking order. This book was not suitable for us, as it did not cleary establish that the dog is a dog. This training method may work better for someone with a less willful breed. We found excellent results with training classes at our local Petsmart. I don’t think the book was wrong, bad or a poor choice, just not a good fit for our personalities and the dog’s! Rating: 3 / 5
