Summary: An earfull of training tips
Comment: I read Lend Me An Ear specifically for its huge section that analyzes breed
types (as groups, not as individuals) when selecting a dog for service
(specifically hearing) work. I found the training tips to be very helpful,
as they address some of the more obnoxious personality traits found not only
in what the author termed "reactive" dogs but also occasionally in our own beloved
trained service dogs. The book is hilarious at times with many personal
examples of the trials and tribulations of training hearing dogs to alert
their partners to various sounds

Rating: 5
Summary: Terrific book!
Comment: This is an excellent book, not only because of the fascinating insight into what it takes to make a hearing dog, but also for understanding and evaluating dog temperaments in general. It would be absolutely invaluable for someone wanting to pick a dog from a shelter. The author has literally evaluated thousands of shelter dogs in her years of searching for suitable dogs to train as hearing ear dogs. This book would make a great addition to any dog lover's library.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Book
