Summary: Dog obedience trainiging made easy.
Review: At last a useful,back to basics,thoughtful book on obedience. This is a book to use from the very beginning of your dogs training as a puppy or in his middle or even later years, the principles applied suit all. I thought I knew it all having trained all my dogs to competition level until this one dog beat me. Using this book and referring to it I can now take my well behaved dog anywhere. I found that a lot of methods I had first learnt 20 years ago using working dog principles as I was taught I had forgotten in shortcutting. This book brought me back to the solid foundation I needed. All the pages are laminated so one can refer to it as needed without the pages wearing.

Summary: Ross Allans Methods Work Best
Review: Dog Obedience Training by Ross Allan is an easy to read step by step training guide providing the reader with practical training and an insight into the canine physic. The book begins with a background into the Author and his family. It talks about his qualifications and experience which I found very important. The approach of the book is practical and in a sense 'obvious once you and your canine know how'. It teaches the reader to train their animal with praise, corrections, repetition, bonding and eye contact. I have found this book to be the most effective training tool for both myself and my German Shepherd Kayla. We are both much better for it and enjoy a greater bonding as a result.

Summary: Look no further, this is the best.
Review: Dog Obedience Training by Ross Allan is an excellent book for anyone seeking serious advice on training their dog. It is clear, concise and easy to follow with a step by step process outlined for each exercise along with wonderful colour photos demonstrating the correct handling procedure. I have used Ross Allan's training methods on my own two dogs and have achieved the desired results when all other avenues have failed. The years of experience and dedication to dog obedience training by the author have produced what I consider to be the best book available for everyone from beginners to the more advanced dog handler. I have witnessed Ross Allan's methods work time and time again and thoroughly recommend this book to anyone in need of guidance with the training of their canine companion.

Summary: Obedience solutions for your dog
Review: How often have we wished someone successful would show us the ropes? With Ross Allans Dog Training it's easy to tap into the experience and hard work that often take years and years to accumulate. The efforts of Ross Allan in this book show simple straight forward techniques on how to avoid and correct the problems most of us experience with our dogs every single day. I had a bit of a stint working as a Dog Handler in the South African military. Now I work for Guide Dogs Queensland Australia. To see Ross work with his dog "The Cisco kid" was something harmonious. Kind of what we all strive for in our relationship with our companions. Give it a read, and pick up the phone... the author is a nice guy too.

Summary: Dog Obedience is a snap
Review: I have a 6 month old American Pit Bull and the day I got "Cross" is the day I also started reading this book. Today he is a trust worthy and obedient dog. What Ross does is breaks down how you train the dog and also gives you an insight into why your puppy or dog does what they do. ANYONE who has a dog should read this book.

Summary: Like Armstrong was to NASA, Ross Allan was to the RAAF
Review: In 1972 Ross Allan was an Airforce Legend, the best of the best, a Top Gun, Dux in his field, and now this living legend quietly trains dogs in sunny Queensland "only an hour away from where last century this man made Airforce history". It almost sounds like a Hollywood Blockbuster and possibly one day, it might be because Ross Allan is as much part of Australian Airforce history as was William (Bill) Perrett the founding father of the RAAF Police Dog Mustering. This 'man', Ross Allan graced our industry and is without doubt, the best independent dog trainer Australia has ever seen. Ross Allan's legacy will never again be repeated. Never before has the guts, determination and natural ability of one person been seen in any of Australia's Armed Forces, Police, Corrections, Security, or Customs. This magnificent 'man' has for many years been undersold. All of Ross Allan's experience, techniques and methodolgy have been captured in his book 'Dog Obedience Training'. This book is the most significant tool you can own if you train dogs! Ross Allan, you are a true Australian icon and the Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) salutes you, a living legend...... Will you one day return to where it all began? Your book has given a high profile to the mustering and dog training in this country. You are a true ambassador and master craftsman. Good luck my friend!

Summary: Dog obedience trainiging made easy.
Review: The quallity of material and contents of this book made it a must for my personal library. The informative contents and ease of reading made understanding each exercise a simple task when it came to implmenting my dogs training. The obvious knowledge and experience of the author showed through clearly as someone who takes dog training seriously. The books picture illustrations were invaluable in understanding the basics of each exercise. This book is well worth the expense, a very well presented and set out guide to dog training.

Summary: How can you go wrong with this book
Review: This book made me and our puppy "Cross" a great puppy at 6 months and he is an American Pit Bull. At 7 weeks I got "Cross" and the same day I got the book. I started right away with the training Ross tells you about step by step. The hardest part like he tells you is to have yourself stay in tune with what you are doing. If you do....well my dog is great. A playfull, trust worthy dog. If you own a dog - YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK. It makes you and the dog live in harmony. Thanks Ross
