 One of my most recommended titles! November 4, 2009
S. Fishbein (St. Louis, MO USA)
I love this book! I was dismayed for awhile when it appeared as though it was out of print, but it has now resurfaced in a new edition.
I recommend this book all the time to new adopters (I've done dog rescue for years) and people who believe that choke chains, pinch collars and shock collars are necessary for a well-trained dog.
The section where Miller describes her epiphany that the relationship is more important than the ribbons still makes me cry every time I read it.
I find the week-by-week lessons are easy for new owners to understand and apply with great success. She also does a great job at explaining the theory and science behind the training without getting dry, boring and too bogged down for people who want application and not theory. (If I want to read data and science, there are other books for that!)
All in all, this is definitely a five-star book (I would give it 10 if I could!).
The Dog Training Book Everyone Should Read October 28, 2009
Viviane Arzoumanian (Brooklyn, NY)
Pat Miller brings you more than 30 years of experience training dogs and their people to this most excellent book...and what makes this book special is the author's clear and straightforward writing style. Don't pass up this comprehensive guide to training dogs through positive reinforcement.
Best Dog Training book on the market September 12, 2009
Stargazer Trading
I cannot tell you how many dog training books I have purchased and felt completely overwhelmed or found their information useless. This book is different - the week by week instructions make training your dog or puppy as easy as can be. It is chalked full of useful information. As with all how to books, you won't agree with everything she says, but if you follow her steps in the second half of the book, in just a few shorts weeks you will have a nicely trained dog.
 Next Gen Dog Training August 9, 2009
William D. Burkard (Longmont, CO)
Having trained dogs for the past 30 years using choke chain and praise this book was enlightening
Using positive reiforcement, along with a clicker, really works enven for my single minded German Shorthare Poiter
The book is laid out in a straightforward easy to understnd format with helpful "realworld" insights.
Recommend it for any level dog owner
One of the Best training books July 15, 2009
L. Rytterager (Boise, ID)
Pat Miller explains how to enhance the human-to-canine relationship using a positive training philosophy. She makes plain the differences between reinforcement, reward and punishment; describes how to use a clicker; and lays out the steps for a 6-week basic training course. I've read a lot of dog books, and this is one of the best handbooks I've seen about how to communicate with a dog.
