Open & Utility Heads to Tails

Absolutely the Best book on proofing for all exercises in these two classes. Methodical and logical with its basis in the basic drives that are found in all dogs, but to differing extents. Interesting and It works!

A new understanding of what makes some dogs tick

I enjoyed the book and found it helpful in dealing with my shy Doberman in training. We are progressing on to Utility training and the book gives several ideas on approaches that work with a dog that has a high Flight tendency. I plan to use the information on drives while working with my beginners puppy classes.
