This was such a helpful read. It was easy to read because it was in simple language. I loved the organization so I could quickly go to the section I needed. There were some typos. I would suggest the author update the book to eliminate typos and maybe add more information on goldens.
I have a lot of dog books about training but just picked this one up. I wouldn't say this book offers anything more than what you can get off the web or your vet.
I liked how easy this was to read. It didn't go into great detail but did provide a general useful overview of the breed and tips for training. Would definitely recommend for a first time owner wanting to gain a little knowledge.
