Full review
This small book covers the basics of dog training as well as including sections on choosing the right dog for you, equipment that you will need and behaviour problems that you might need to correct. In this respect it is useful for training puppies and older dogs. It is nicely illustrated throughout with pictures which demonstrate people doing the training exercise with a dog which makes it easier to visualise and copy. It is I think a good starter book but not one which goes into any depth on any one specific problem so it is not really suitable for someone with a specific problem. It is more a general training manual. It covers teaching your dog how to sit, stay, down, come, fetch, walking to heel, giving a paw and stay. There are suggested remedies for various problems that your dog may exhibit eg jumping up, howling, being a pest in the car etc. The training is all reward based and does not suggest any punishments at all apart from a firm 'no'
