 Should have more detail February 1, 2000

The book is clearly written and the instructions work well if you are patient and persistent enough. Mr. Maller is one of the most respected trainers and he knows what he is talking about. Yet, the book does not cover in detail the problems that araise when training for obedience (there are always problems). The lack of photography (there are no photos, not even in the cover) makes the book look a little "cheap". Nevertheless this book contains some very good information. If you want a trained dog, but not for the obedience ring, this is a great book to follow.
 It was very imformative and simple. May 8, 1999

The book explained simple commands "sit" and "heel" and "come." It was easy to understand and itis a non-disipilnary way of training. I trained my dog with ease.
At last, a book I understand...and so does my dog October 8, 1998

Up until now my dog could be in the movies; unfortunately the Columbo movies! After a half dozen books and a two dozen obedience lessons I came across this book. My dog is not going to win any blue ribbons but this book made a big difference. Written twenty years ago its had about two dozen printing. Its stood the test of time and the test of Butch (my dog). Get this book and you have a better than even money shot and changing your dog from being ---well, a total animal. Butch actually is able to roll over, heel and (most amazing) not whiz on the floor when my guirl friend gets home. It took 33 days ...not 21 but considering his past failings (my dogs, not the authors) I'd still have to give it five stars. Easy to use, easy to follow. It actually even borders on fun!
Best of the dog training guide July 31, 1998

Maller clearly knows dogs. Feinman clearly is a super writer. The combination is an easy to follow well worded book on a subject with much misinformation. Having read many a guide this is my absolute favorite. (Dog training is my hobby) The title (like most of Feinman's self help books) tends to be there for marketing instead of info ...but I like his light breezy style. I've bought his books on everything from "Making Money in Mail Order" to even subjects that don't interest me like "Buying tomorrow Collectibles." He's not Arthur Miller but he's a fun read. Maller as president of the AADT knows EVERYTHING about dogs. Maller makes sure the book is not just a rehash of every other training guide. Five stars.
