 Still a great book August 14, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is still a great book for competition obedience, even though it is a bit dated. The author is a long-time top AKC obedience winner, her record is impressive! Forget the clicker stuff! More for the dog trainer wanting to tweak their training techniques and showmanship to the next level and get the most from their dogs.
The Ultimate Training Guide. A must have CLASSIC! July 6, 2003
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
Fads, gadgets and gimmicks in training come and go. They DO sell books, classes and fancy equipment... and also confuse a lot of dogs and their owners. But this is a masterpiece of SOUND advice and a method of training that is based on a life-time of outstanding success in obedience trials. HOW can anyone argue with her degree of success? Winifred G. Strickland's methods will be around forever because they work so beautifully. She has won endless titles and done it while loving and respecting her happy, enthusiastic, super dogs. Her gentle, intelligent training program will succeed with other breeds that are not as naturally keen to work as her German Shepherd dogs.I love this book. A classic that will probably never go out of print. What a joy to read and apply! It has an honored spot on my reference shelf and is one of the most valuable books I have ever purchased on the subject! It is easily worth ten times the price.
 Very old information.... April 12, 2003

A good book....for the 1960's. Dog training has evolved *far* past what this trainer had taught in the past. Her methods are behind the times and they show that she no longer is a serious competitor.
An OK book for a historical reference, but not much use otherwise.
 Just for Show? August 25, 2002
24 out of 34 found this review helpful
I agree with all of the reviews I read on this book, however, non of them talked about the "show" aspect. If I would have known how much was dedicated to getting your dog and yourself ready for shows, I think I would have passed. The first 8 chapters are great, but after that I found the information did not apply to my dog and his needs (or mine). If you are looking to enter your dog in competitions this is it. Otherwise I would look for books that would help you with your specific breed of dog. Just for the record, not all dogs respond to that "wack on the nose" correction, she talks so fondly about.
I recommend this book to all of my dog owning friends July 5, 2002

I have been training my doberman for a year using various books and videos with great success, but there were little problems here and there that I couldn't find information on solving. In this book Winifred dealt with every one of them. I was amazed that she mentioned every one of my issues with my training.
