Customer Review: Dog Training
This book does contain good instrction, but I was hoping for more help in teaching obedience to my German Shepherd.
Customer Review: If Pat Miller would only write a book for new parents...
Pat Millers, "The Power of Positive Dog Training" is quite possibly the most recommended and lent out book on my shelf. I come from a different background than a lot of the reviewers, I do not own a dog training academy or raise many dogs. I own one Boston Terrier. I purchased Miller's book prior to his arrival in my home and I have never been let down. Millers book is interesting, descriptive, and concise. I look to it often to solve little problems in curving behavior or to get ideas for new tricks. I began with her methods on day one when he was nine weeks old, potty and crate training. I can now say that I have one of the best behaved dogs that I know. He knows many of the commands and tricks in the book (plus some.) The best ones are not the amazing ones, but the ones that go unnoticed. Potty training, Leash training, Stop, Come, Stay, and Heel are big ones. I chose this book because I choose to reinforce the good behavior and do not believe in hitting my dog. Everything that Miller states made sense to me, and it is for that reason that I chose to raise him via her methods. A friend just got a new puppy. My first recommendation...
