If you love your dog, read this book

This book is fabulous. As the first-time owner of a dog (a big, energetic lab at that), I was looking for help, and Kathy Santo's advice is right on. Her technique is based on the premise that each dog is an individual, and is motivated to learn in a very specific way. Her explanations are quite clear and very entertaining. Some of the examples and turns of phrase were so funny, I laughed out loud.
I've been worried about being able to keep our dog safe from cars and other animals, and to keep her from jumping on kids and older people, all without stifling her enthusiasm and happy lab personality. Kathy's suggestions have already begun working a miracle of obedience. Buy this book if you have a dog. Run to buy it if you have a dog behavior problem. Now if I could only use these methods on my husband...

Dog Sense - A Must Read

This book is a must read for every dog owner. Discovering my dogs' unique personalities was quite amazing, two border collies with totally different motivations. Training has become an enjoyment with each new success. The training methods outlined in this book have given me an insight to my dogs that I never thought possible. Thank you, Kathy Santo!!

A must have for all dog/puppy owners..

I thought this was a great book. Full of very helpful information, written in a way that I just couldn't put it down! This book has lots of humor mixed in with the eductional part which made it a very easy and fun read.
