Customer Reviews

A light-heatred summary of the life of a dog trainer.

Matthew Margolis tells of his humble beginings and love for dogs in New York City in the 1960's that leads to a fantastic and wonderful journey about his love for dogs to writing books about dog training. His journey includes appearing on numerous TV and radio stations including "The Johnny Carson Show" and his reputation for training dogs through "love, praise, and affection." His book moves, with him, to the west coast where he becomes "Dog trainer to the stars," people such as Woopie Goldberg, Cher, Jimmy Stewrart etc. It's difficult to put this one down. I would recomend this book to anyone who has just bought a dog or is seriously interested in training and loving one. It will leave you smiling!
