Great advice

Breaks it down and provides a common language and basic platform to build from. Does a great job of articulating ‘pressure on, pressure off’ as the key foundation.

Starter guide

This is a great book for people wanting to get their toes into dog training. He does a great job with pictures and written language to convey his messages.

Very polished book with clear information and many photos.
Unfortunately it uses very old fashioned methods.

Enjoyed...

After over 20 years since my last dog training, this was a great refresher/reminder. There were plenty of new ideas to me!
