Bought this book when I was showing Rottis and ended up with one that hated men wearing hats! I found this book to be informitive on alot of areas. I use it all the time and read from cover to cover about once a year. It helps with everything from general problem dogs to training. It talks about breeding, what to expect and when. Talks about why dogs do some of the really weird stuff they do. Just a GREAT book!!

Pros: Easy to read and understand

Cons: Give me more!!!

This book is a simple guide to dog training. I have used it since my 14 year old was a puppy. I continually use it as a resource.

Pros: Excellent training guide

Cons: none

I have given this book to many first time dog owners. I find the advice extremely useful for the new and old dog owner. My favorite section is the recall. The advice I now give everyone who has or is getting a dog is- No matter how many times you call your dog, when it finally comes to you, no matter how mad you are, give it hugs and kisses. Hitting and yelling at it only makes the dog think that coming to you is bad. Always make your hands your dogs best friend. Best advice ever.

Pros: Kindness gets results

Cons: None

I love Brian Kilcommons. Brian studied dog training under Barbara Woodhouse. What a lucky guy! He is a dog trainer with lots of experience and knowledge. I love this book because it is helpful with not only dog training, but some common problems with dogs and it’s a great book for the average dog owner, as well as a dog enthusiast. It’s a must have for every library.

Pros: lots of info, helpful, easy to read

Cons: none

i had the priviledge to work with Brian Kilcommons and his books are written just like he was talking to you personally...whether you are a first timer and it's all new to you or you are an advanced handler you will come away with a wealth of info!
you will return to it over and over again and will recommend it too.....
worth reading and worth keeping in your library...
you'll have to buy your own...i'm not lending my copy out!!

Pros: great book for beginner to advanced handlers!

Cons: none
