Good coverage of the basics of lure and reward training with a lot of pictures. The book was too long: the author spent two pages and five photos on the muffin tin game: the dog finds several treats hidden under 12 tennis balls in a muffin tin. The book was often too squishy; the section on dog characteristics was along the lines of different dogs are very different for many different reasons. A lot of time spent on vague ideas about how to help dogs with psychoses.
