Summary: A wonderful source for solving behavioral problems
Review: I found Ray's antedotal appraoch to behavioral problems very refreshing. By showing exactly what the owners were doing wrong, I was able to see if my problems were similiar enough to warrent the same correction. Ray really respects the fact that not all dogs are the same and as a result, he presents several remedies for the reader to try. In general, Ray showed me that we are always teaching our dogs, whether we want to or not. As a result, I am much more aware of timing, proper corrections and how I interact with my puppy. A must read for all of us lucky enough to have a dog in our lives.

Summary: Best Dog Training Book Out There!!
Review: This book was recommended to me by a vet 10 years ago. I had a very out of control dog, and we were her third owners. I got this book out of the library and read it from cover to cover. We began training the dog with the tips that Ray used in the book. To this day, even though she is going deaf, our dog comes when we blow a whistle three times. We even had Ray come to our house and give us tips to help her. Ray really saved our dog. I could not have kept her if he didn't help us train her. She is now a very well behaved, sweet dog. I highly recommend this book to anyone getting a dog. I even bought a used copy and have loaned it to lots of friends who got puppies. I look forward to his next book, A Ray of Hope - Helping Dogs with People Problems.
