If you have a small dog that you plan to train in any way, you must have this book. It is an invaluable guide to the special techniques required in training your little dog. After being ignored and frustrated in training classes with my toy poodles, I bought this book, and realized why. Most trainers have no idea what to do with little dogs, and their unique training needs. These authors do.They have been wildly sucessful with their own dogs, and can translate their ideas, and techniques in a way that is entertaining, and easy to read. Their whole approach is quite novel, and very exciting.
It really is a different world with a small dog. If you have and love at least one, like I do, buy this book! |
