As part of the Training Your Dog Series you will be taught just that; how to train your dog, with special emphasis on your special breed.

Also covered are humane methods of breaking a dog's bad habits, such as begging, jumping on people, unnecessary barking, and biting. Each book is filled with instructive full-color photos. Other breeds featured in this Series are the German Shepherd and the Rottweiler. Paperback / 176 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 1999

Pretty good book
I liked the way this book communicates. well written.
It actually explains how to train the dog by giving examples and steps.

I tried some items and have seen them to work.
A good amount of the tips I already knew about and follow out of instinct.
So it is not totally impressive but surely it puts thoughts in a structured context and refreshes old concepts.

Training is not only about when to sit and when to fetch, it is about being able to communicate with your poochie friend. If you cannot communicate, then, you cant train (not predictable results for sure) the poochie.

This book gets to the basics of what actually is being communicated by each (a lot if not all) of general behaviours we go through with our Labs.

All in All, a really good Beginer's book to training.
