Amazing book, very well written, helped me to understand my puppy and gave me very clear view on how to train and lead our first dog. Really reccommend reading this to everyone who are not sure what to do first with your new puppy, as it can be quite chaotic at first. Positive method is the best way and I can see the results already. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge in this book.

Might need to purchase this later once I know the new dog and what the training focus areas should be. This book would have been useful before owning our last dog, who turned out to be aggressive. Might have prevented things from becoming unmanageable.

Výborné, čtivé. Po přečtení každý pochopí, co je to pozitivní trénink. A třeba ho začne uplatňovat. Já tedy ano.
