Worthy of a Spot on Your Bookshelf,
By Starry "evenstar7139" (United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Dog Training For Dummies (Paperback)
This book gets put down a lot because it has a couple of flaws. However, overall, it is a great book on Dog Training, and it contains a lot of information the person trying to train their dog really needs to know. This book helps you get inside your dog's head and understand why he does and does not listen. It puts the world as your dog sees it in perspective and shows you how to communicate on his level so you can help him understand exactly what is expected of him.If you read this book you will become someone who can control their dog and have a happy, obedient canine companion.

Review from another veterinary technician,
By booklover "theanimalnurse" (NY United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Dog Training For Dummies (Paperback)
Like another reviewer, I am also a veterinary technician and I strongly disagree with her dismissal of many things in this book on the basis that the authors aren't "medically trained". These authors are very experienced and respected people in the dog training/health fields. Their advice on rabies vaccination timing and commercial dog foods are, I believe, valid. The veterinary field (vets and technicians)is not a monolithic block. I personally know many licensed veterinarianswho agree wholehearedly with the health issues in this book. As someone who has a degree in veterinary technology (plus human physical therapy) I am dismayed by the attitude of many of my colleagues that vettech/vet school is the only place to receive valid training and information. There is minimal training inbehavior and nutrition. I have found that the Volhard's training methods work quite well, and they are also followed and respected by many canine breeding/training professionals.
