I LOVE THIS BOOK! It was given to me from a friend that knew I was having "issues" with training my Italian Greyhounds. I read through the whole book the day I got it. Started the basics the next day. I love Janes' style of writing; found it to be entertaining and was pleased that she made it easy to understand the way your dog thinks and also gives examples. I'm only on day 3 of powering up the clicker, but the dogs are loving it! I am looking forward to getting further into the exercises and having fun with my dogs.
Absolutely Awesome Dog Training Book April 2, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
When Pigs Fly could describe many people's experiences in training their dogs. Certainly, it was mine trying to train my Elkhounds. Then I came across this awesome book. Jane Killion's warm, witty and right on descriptions explain why her method of clicker training works so well with "impossible dogs". The methods she uses are humane; no yelling, poking fingers, hissing or jerking of collars. And... it works! Your impossible dog (like mine) will be a social asset when you've accomplished your goals using Jane's methods. Try it! Its fun! You'll like it... and so will your dog.
Great book! March 24, 2008

I bought this book because I am the owner of a "non biddable" dog, a terrier. I train for obedience and the techniques used in the book are great for this kinds of dogs. I see such a difference in the attitude of my dog since using the methods described in this book. Excellent book for those training their "difficult" dogs for performance events!

I've read about a thousand training books, some really good, but none good enough to inspire me to write a review. Until this one. I'm raising my first Pigs Fly dog, and even though I'd read a lot about positive training techniques and nothing in this book is really new to me, the focus on this KIND of dog is so helpful. Over and over again Killion would write "I bet your dog does this," or "I bet you've had a hard time training that," and I would think "Yes! That's totally my dog! Someone understands!" Killion leaves out the stuff that doesn't work on these dogs (any approach that relies on their desire to please you, since that's not a huge motivation for them), which helps to avoid the frustration of trying that stuff and failing. She really emphasizes how to figure out what does motivate them (and why) and work with that. The result is effective, but more than that, it's an attitude readjustment. Instead of having a dog who "just doesn't get it," I now have a dog who works differently from my previous ones, and the tools to figure out how he works, and the ability to appreciate his creativity and sense of humor and independence so much more fully now that I'm not fighting them all the time. This book brought a whole new level of harmony and enthusiasm to my relationship with my crazy new coonhound-mix puppy, and we can't thank Jane Killion enough for that.
