DOG WORLD
“Ronchette’s instruction manual is derived from two decades experience as a professional trainer. In addition to conformation, she competes in several performance events. In all of these, she utilizes positive techniques such as luring, shaping, targeting, and clicker training that have become staple tools of so much training methodology. The book covers all the basics of choosing leads, using bait, free stacking, hand stacking, and gaiting. Each one is carefully explained and readers are guided through their application. The author provides abundant suggestions to deal with common frustrations such as dogs that hate table exams or persistently sit down in the ring. There is no shortage of advice on socializing puppies, keeping your dog calm, and reinforcing a positive attitude. She also explains the use of desensitization and counter-conditioning to revise problem behaviors… The book is presented as a guide for both novice and expert but confines its scope to the basics. Overall, it’s a valuable guide for beginners and handlers interested in repurposing positive training techniques to a new sport.”

| Reviewer: Kathy King |
| My two champion dachshunds and I are living proof that Vicki's methods work. Both the dogs and I were new to the show ring when we joined her conformation classes and I was very glad that she has now published what she practices so well. |

| what's missing, October 15, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Patricia Riley |
| The information provided is adequate enough, but so much is left out! How to improve gaiting is covered with the general instruction 'click when the dog is doing it right' with no hints on how to improve gait or expression, the use of bait in the ring, and more 'tricks of the trade'. I would really have like to see more on shaping the free-stack. This covers only the most basic of basics, I hope this leads to a more expanded work on using the clicker for the conformation dog in the future. |
