Puppy demands so much of my attention that I haven t much time to read. Best if you get the books before you get the puppy. I am reading different books to pick which words we prefer to use and are keeping a list of the words and hand signals plan to use so we are consistent. ThriftBooks has always been very reliable in fast delivery of very good condition books which are very reasonably priced. Thank you.

  • 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!
