Customer Reviews

An obedience instructor's bible!

I have been teaching obedience for many years. This book really opens up a whole new world for you. The book is very detailed,descriptive, and written for everyone. A real must have in every dog owners home!

The best handbook ever for trainers!

Dr. Volhard & Ms. Fisher have once again collaborated on a useful, motivational, and entertaining handbook for dog obedience. This time they focus on the instructor. They give detailed advise on the hows and whys of taking a group of handlers through a successful session. The fundamental point of the handbook is that training a dog is one thing - but, teaching a class how to train their dogs is quite different. Remarkably well written and entertaining: a MUST for all training directors and should be in all dog club and dog school libraries.
