 Great Companion to Obedience Class May 30, 2009
T. Brenzel (Louisville, KY)
I found this while we were in the middle of our first 6 week obedience course. It's an easy read and gave great detail to all the concepts we learned in a positive training class with some fun extra tricks and interesting anecdotes. An excellent resource to refer back to especially if you're taking a class!!
 Great puppy book May 5, 2009
MO'B (MI)
This book is a good resource for training a puppy. You don't have to have lots of experience handling dogs to be able to apply these techniques. Everything is explained simply.
Incredibly helpful April 28, 2009
Laura C. Collins (Washington, DC)
Everyone who is thinking about a dog should read this book. In this case, the word "power" is very true--using Pat Miller's approach will not only help you get a well trained dog, but it will strengthen your relationship in the process.
Perfect training method for a small dog! April 23, 2009
K. Rossiter (Spoolner)
I have a three year old chihuahua. She already knew the basics, but I wanted to teach her more. I chose this book because it is a very gentle training method. My dog's entire attitude has improved since starting this training. She is much more obedient and willing to please. I do not use a clicker, instead I use the word "yes". It works just as well.
Clicker optional, still a good guide March 29, 2009
Honest Opinion (Pennsylvania)
I was disappointed that this book focuses on clicker training, as I just don't find that practicle for me. However, when I used Pat Miller's methods with praise in place of the clicker, I got wonderful results.
I trained dogs with a correction method years ago. With my first new puppy in a decade, I decided to check out the "positive training" books, just to see what they were about. I am such a convert!
The other book I really love is "Treats, Play, Love" by Burnham. Just excellent. She also examines different methods, including the history behind them and when correction methods may be appropriate. Pat Miller seems a bit more opposed to correction on a moral basis, so I appreciate Burnham's approach to the topic. One of Pat Miller's strong points is practical suggestions and an almost stet-by-step approach to basic training.
