The Complete Idiot's Guide to Positive Dog Training (Complete Idiot's Guide To...)

Rating:
Summary: And also for the not so complete idiot...
Review: This book may be mis-titled as there is plenty of information even if you have been training for years, although it's definitely structured so that a beginner can pick it up. One of my favorite clicker training books!

Rating:
Summary: Great information and fun to read!
Review: This book was very informative and easy to use. There is a logical progression to the book and Pam helps you understand your dog! Then she gives a lot of good pointers as well as well laid out instructions. I have put the positive training into action and have seen good results!

Rating:
Summary: Must have for owners.
Review: This is the best basic book on positive reinforcement I have come across. Clear, easy (and fun!) to read, with real-life application. This book is filled with practical how-to's that WORK! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Positive Dog Training is a favorite of mine, and I recommend it to everyone with pet dogs, or those who are interested in but tentative about venturing into positive training because it seems "too much work".

Rating:
Summary: Very Helpful and Convincing
Review: We have a Spinone puppy we used most of the methods and philosophies from this book and it worked wonderfully. I totally agree with the authors assertion that "nos" and corrections will not ultimately give you the behavior you want from your dog. I think this book is so good, every breeder should make it required reading when they sell their pups. I also like the format of the "idiots" books, very easy to follow.
