 Well Written March 22, 2009

I am training a sheltie puppy to be a service dog for my daughter and with 35 professional years in dogs I want to buy the best book available to help me achieve this task. Teamwork 2 does go back to the original book often, Teamwork, but the information in the book is solid, easy to understand and easier yet to apply to training a calm, focused dog to do effective service work. Thank you Stewart Nordensson and Lydia Kelley.

Teamwork II: A Dog Training Manual for People with Disabilities
I wanted to train my own service dog, this book was a godsend....Instructions were easy to follow and understand. The stories interesting and let you know that yes you can do it yourself!! Wonderful. I would suggest that you work with the Teamwork book by the same authors first and make sure your dog is ready for the advanced Teamwork II training. Wonderful book...
 good December 1, 2008
D. Long (savannah, GA)
I liked this book in that it tells steps to train your own service dog. step to do things like find objects, etc. however I thought it could have been edited a bit better. as in step one step two and leave out all the personal stories of the disabilities the owners had. all in all it was a helpful book
Excellent instruction manual for helpful training November 9, 2008
Bonnie J. Cox (Millville, CA USA)
The crowning achievement of this book is its portrayals of actual people and dogs learning to be a team. It also provides alternatives for dogs that need a different approach to learning a task. In addition, it may seem a simple thing, but the spiral binding allows the book to lay flat and be easy to read. The stories and photographs are truly inspiring.
The Bible of Service Dog Training October 8, 2008
Kimberly F. Nippes (Denver, CO United States)
Fantastic book for those who want to train their own service dog. I trained two catahoula leopard dogs as service dogs with help from this book. As anyone who knows catahoulas will agree, they are rather hardheaded. With the excellent advice from this book, I was able to educate two young dogs into being reliable workers, one of whom saved my life twice. This edition goes into common service dog tasks and beyond basic obedience. If you don't have an assistance dog training facility or a trainer with experience in these areas, teaching your dog these tasks can be quite challenging to figure out. Teamwork doesn't make it easy, but it sure does make it easier.
