Valuable booklet., March 16, 2017
Reviewer: perseas
Small in size but big in value. A fully acceptable approximation in order to rule your dog in a healthy way.
 
Wow!, March 25, 2015
Reviewer: ask_away68
I hesitated buying this booklet because I thought that for the few pages that it has, what can it teach me that I don't already know? I've read MANY (close to a hundred) books on dog training and raising dogs. I've also watched seasons and seasons of the very popular dog rehab TV show. I knew that I had to be a more effective pack leader but I wasn't feeling comfortable about the 'poking' and leash corrections. To this day I regret having done those and glad I found positive training. However, I haven't read any positive training books that touched on pack leadership and how I could do it effectively without dominance. While I believe that my own energy is at play, I struggled to have my dogs see me as the pack leader, until I read this book! The body blocks proved to be useful to getting there, because the book taught me how to do them properly. I kid you not, it worked within minutes of implementing them. My dogs had a bewildered look on their faces as if wondering 'what the heck is going on here?' I can't wait to keep using these techniques more to reinforce the positive training with my dogs. Thank you, Ms. McConnell!

Simple but still very interesting book. It's short but you get a lot of info. It's a good book if you want to understand how to be 'authoritative' in a positive way. I also like that it suggests how and when you can relax the discipline, so you can be consistent without being too strict.
