Expanded Description:
Author Adele Yunck adds another great book to her previous titles, Competition Obedience & Positively Fetching. Many exhibitors skip the crucial step of proofing when preparing to show their dog in obedience trials. During proofing, you expose your dog to more and more difficult distractions to teach him to maintain his concentration and complete the obedience exercises. This book helps you explore proofing, whether training by yourself, with a helper, or in a group. Adele draws on her extensive teaching and trialing background as she explores this fascinating subject.
The first part of the book talks about proofing in general and some of the techniques used no matter what the exercise. The 2nd part covers each AKC exercise, with a tiny bit of UKC and CKC thrown in. Not surprisingly, the sections on advanced exercises are the
more extensive ones. The author assumes that the reader has a working knowledge of how obedience trials work and doesn't discuss TOO much training philosophy,
though she does go into training go-outs pretty extensively. The go-out section is the longest.

| Choices are Good, September 4, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Bernie |
| The strength of this book is that the author gives trainers many choices. Consistent with her other books and videos, Adele Yunck starts with positive methods and only suggests other methods (such as changing collars) if other methods do not work. I am currently in the process of showing my 'new' dog in novice obedience, and this book has given me wonderful proofing scenarios and tips for the ring. |

| Reviewer: Lisa Whelan |
I have just started reading this book and I am shocked and disappointed to discover that the author recommends not only the use of physical corrections but the use of a PINCH collar! I quote
'Sometimes changing collars can make a difference in your dog's response to your corrections. A change from a buckle to a pinch collar can make a radical improvement in your dog's response'.
I will be returning this book to Dogwise and requesting a full refund.

| The proof is in the pudding, March 29, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Linda Lemmer |
| I have been training for a long time and after awhile you think you know all the ways of proofing your dog for the ring. Then comes along a book that reminds you of what you know, things you have forgotten over time, and an all new way of proofing. This is a wonderful book to keep you on track to work out the problems before they become mayor. This is definitely a book for your training bag. |
