MUST READ!, January 7, 2011
Reviewer: Elaine Chan Whitlow
This booklet is SIMPLE, to the point! It's very helpful for any dog owner who's dog is experiencing leash reactivity. It is a must read, must have for all dog trainers. I read this booklet over and over again and use the exercise in my training to benefit dogs that have leash reactive concern.
I rate this booklet one of the must have in the tool box if you work with any dog that is leash reactive. and it is great book to read for all dog owner.
I enjoyed this book very much, and love every bit of the information. I will continue recommending this book to my clients and share the exercises that I've learned
 
Wonderful Info - A Great Mistake purchase!, August 5, 2010
Reviewer: Kirbyjakobs
So I actually ordered this book by mistake (thinking I was ordering a different booklet) and now think it was one of the best mistakes I have made. All of the McConnell/London booklets I have tried so far have been awesome. Small enough to digest them easily without being overwhelming, they are chock full of information with details and examples of real life practices that are sometimes lost in larger books. The watch me command can be a life saver.. not just for the feisty fido, but in other situations as well. 5 paws up!
 
Get ALL of these booklets!, October 1, 2009
Reviewer: David B
I have read most, if not all of Patricia McConnell's booklets. These are must-have books for anyone exposed to shelter, or rescue group dogs. Yet, these books are simple enough, that even the serious, reqular pet owner can get benefit from as well.







Volunteering at my local shelter, I am already working the 'Watch Me' command into my training routine. Sure these dogs today are indeed Feisty Fidos as this review is being written, but I will use 'Watch Me' early on in the training of other dogs. Somewhere right around the 'Sit' stage of the game!







Again, there is more stuff here that any dog owner can use, not just for Feisty Fidos! And... Information that just may prevent a Friendly Fido from turning Fiesty later.
