 A Great Starter Book For Anyone! September 18, 2001

This was one of many dog obedience books that I have read. It is easy to read and understand. Mcmains tells you how to do everything from putting the collar on the dog to explaining how the dog's mind works. I certianly recommend this book to anyone, beginner or advanced trainer. He does not use one training style but combines several. The author even discusses the training session from the dogs perspective. As a plus the book is easy to read and entertaining. A lot of books I have read were boring and I would catch myself skipping around. That does not happen with this book. It was an easy read and even provided step by step lesson plans for you to go by for basic obedience. I recommend this book to anyone. I loved the book so much that I bought his others.

I love Joel McMain's books. The training technique is great, and just as important, his attitude towards the dogs is superb! Throughout the book he reminds you not to get caught up in training for training's sake and forget about who's on the other end of the leash. I especially like how he explains how and why this particular technique works, and how he mentions that this technique isn't the only one that works. The anecdotes at the end of the book also help with understanding the way dogs think. And alternate ways to train are given throughout the book, for those few dogs that don't respond to this method. Get this one, you won't be sorry!

Do not get this book unless you have a dog that's more than 6 months old. I have a new puppy and Joel writes how puppies shouldn't be trained because it can be detrimental to them. I completely disagree. My beagle knows how to sit, stay, no, here, give his paw, and down. He is just fine. If you already have a dog, don't get this book unless you have a dog Joel considers trainable. This book was very discouraging and disappointing. He even writes that a dog should never be paper trained. Puppies shouldn't go outside till they're fully vacinated. Please, don't waste your time getting this book.

I train owners to train their dogs as a supplament to my income. I also do it as a way to improve the quality of life for both the canine and the owner. Dog Logic is like a required "Text Book" for my classes. Yes I am partial to Joel's style and techniques. I am also proof that they work. My experiece with Joe's training methods were personal and resulted in a dog that was a Champion in Two states for 4-H; Also one that was the envy of anyone that met him. Dog Logic is a realistic approach to training and understanding your K9 compainion. With this book and individual comes away with a new insight and understanding of their best friend. This book also helps the owner of a dog develop a better relationship with their pet as a result of love, understanding and training.
Great Book August 24, 1999
Dog Logic: This is a book clearly created for easy to follow instructions in dog training! Your dog will come away trained and still want to keep company with you. It has all the instructions needed to train your home pet. I applaud, Joel M. McMains for his guidance and understanding of "Mans Best Friend".
