Excellent, August 14, 2003
Reviewer: dog mom
This is a great book. I've read just about every book on obedience there is and, IMO, this is one of the 2 best (Terri Arnold's 3 vol series is the other one.) They also manage to walk the line between positives and corrections.

The other neat thing is that they often present 2 different approaches to teaching something.
 
A Must Have for Serious Obedience Trainers, January 3, 2005
Reviewer: Judy Bos
I recently received Competition Obedienced: A Balancing Act.as a gift. I found the book very comprehensive in all aspects of obedience training at all levels. I especially liked the fact that the authors presented their preferred training method but did not dismiss other ways. I thought each section was clearly presented in text and accompanying illustrations. I liked the possible problems section and how to solve them and proofing techniques. You can easily see that these authors have lived the obedience experience at all levels.
 
Very helpful book, December 21, 2006
Reviewer: Just starting out
This book is easy to read and understand with excellent illustrations, and is laid out to work well as a cover-to-cover read or as a reference book. As a newbie to competition obedience, I bought this book as a companion to working with a trainer and it is an excellent companion as it explains some of my questions, offers alternate techniques when we stall, and does not contradict what we've already learned.
