Summary: a great approach to training 'independant' breeds
Comment: I really appreciated the insights into finding 'motivators' for independant breeds such as sighthounds and in my case, Siberian Huskies. This book is a mainstay on my dog training shelf. In addition, I recommend William Campbell's 'Behavior Training in Dogs' (at least the edition I purchased in the 70's).

Summary: Excellent motivator for show dogs
Comment: having shown dogs for 25 years it is always great to find a publication like this that makes training fun for your dog, rather than him/her just having to do it. Although it is designed as an obedience book, many things in the first part of the book also apply to show training as well. I often reccommend this book to people, but unfortunately it is very hard to purchase in Australia

Summary: Not bad, but not the best you can do.
Comment: I was frankly rather disappointed by this book. I love the writing style, and the author's anecdotes about showing her dogs are hilarious. Unfortunately, I was expecting more actual ideas for games you could play with your dog that would motivate or teach him, and there isn't much that's new in this book. Also, as a clicker trainer, I find the fact that the author claims to support learning by positive reinforcement to be mildly amusing, since she's miles away from what most of us would call by that name. (I got The Culture Clash at the same time as this book, and the difference is striking.) To sum up, I think this was a useful, cutting-edge book... for 1986.
