| Great Book-Quick, Easy Read, July 10, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Kirbyjakobs |
| This is such a nice concise book stock full of great info in only 50 pages. The focus on training each dog individually THEN bringing them together seems like common sense, but doesn't always happen. The authors give the reader 'permission' to treat each dog as an individual which was also helpful... just as you wouldn't treat two children exactly alike, treating two dogs, with different issues, exactly alike isn't always the most productive, yet we sometimes are drawn towards doing that for 'fairness sake'. The techniques are well described and easy to follow. A great book to look back at again and again as your pack becomes more and more focused as a group, I suspect once one challenge is tackled, I will be able to pick it up and learn how to manage another. Thanks Patricia & Karen! |

| Excellent!, October 29, 2009 |
| Reviewer: David B |
The authors almost short change themselves with the title...
Sure, the training and ideas do apply to multi-dog households, but much of that same training begins with training that first dog, and then bringing in the rest one at a time on the same thing unlit all are doing it. Is this a bad value for those of us in multi-dog households? Not a all! It is just that those with only one dog can get good ideas and value out of this book too. Add to that, there is enough good stuff that does apply directly to managing multi-dogs to keep those of us quite happy!
Lets look at it this way: I keep my books in pristine condition. The only books I ever mark in are my dog training and behavior ones. 'Feeling Outnumbered' has the most marks-per-page of any of them. A short book at 50 pages, but more wisdom per page than many others. |
