For the premium price and description as new condition, I was disappointed that this book was not wrapped or carefully packaged and arrived in very worn condition as if used.

  • Dog Training

    I adopted a 2 year old Boarder Collie and found that he's had some training. The advice and technics described in the book is very helpful in teaching him more. Things look good as this breed is known at the smartest of all and he's proving it.

  • Great book for the novice dog owner.

    I just recently adopted a 1 1/2 year old Australian cattle dog, named Koda from a local animal shelter. I hit the lottery with Koda. What a wonderful dog! Super smart! I can train a dog in the basics. Koda is so smart I want to train her the best I can. And "Dog Training For Dummies" will help me achieve that goal. I'm very happy with my purchase. Thank you very much!
