Summary: "Dog Speak" Speaks to Me
Comment: I have just finished reading "Dog Speak" by Bash Dibra and found it extremely helpful. As an animal artist who prefers to paint from life, I frequently need to advise my clients on basic obedience for their pets. Mr. Dibra has written his book for pet owners and not professional trainers so it is easy to read. I have painted dogs of every breed and description and when owners used the techniques I recommended from this book I noticed a considerable change in the pet's behavior on subsequent sittings. There are no frills or controversial new training methods here, just solid, proven advice. It is a must for every first time dog owner or anyone who just wants to review the basics.

Summary: Revolutionary?!?!
Comment: Despite the author's statement, there is nothing revolutionary about this book. In fact, many suggestions in it are falling by the wayside (paper training, "corrective jerk") as we learn more positive, fun ways to work with our dogs. Although it contains great suggestions for selecting a dog, other books have better all-around advice; for example, "A Simple Guide to Puppies." For true enlightenment on dog communication, read Patricia McConnell's delightful "The Other End of the Leash." Leave this one, with its aggressive approach to training, on the shelf.

Summary: For Beginners...
Comment: This book is an all-around puppy manual for the beginner. There were few novel ideas and the majority of these ideas seemed "gimmicky" by Bash applying his own monikers to techniques. Graphic illustrations (drawings) were remarkably poor. An experienced dog owner may find more use in one of the other dozens of books on dog training.
