 If you have a difficult dog who has heretofore resisted training... August 4, 2007

9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Jane Killion knows about dogs. she lives with a houseful of Bull Terriers, she breeds them, she contributes to dog publications, and her home is the place where people gather together with their dogs for training sessions. Now in "When Pigs Fly!: Training Success With Impossible Dogs", Killion draws upon her many years of personal experience and sophisticated expertise to create a dog training manual that is particularly 'user friendly' and appropriate for the non-specialist general reader seeking to train their animal companion when that companion has a non-compliant mind of its own. Killion's key to training success with independent or seemingly incorrigible dogs is to figure out what they find rewarding and then use those rewards to establish and maintain the behavior desired. "When Pigs Fly!" will teach anyone how to make their dog to willing behave for a reward instead of trying to get away with mischief. Simply stated -- if you have a difficult dog who has heretofore resisted training, the you need your own copy of Jane Killion's "When Pigs Fly!: Training Success With Impossible Dogs".

It feels like a summer romp through highly amusing tales, inside tips, and fun exercises, but WHEN PIGS FLY has changed me, and my dogs.
I've shed some foolish notions and inconsiderate habits, and the dogs are glad about that. Now they are so sweetly eager when a training session is in the wind. New lines of communication are opening to us.
Well-written and indispensable. This book will surely be regarded as a classic.

Those who have not given up on their "difficult" dog will welcome this book with open arms, for at long last author Jane Killion teaches us that with the right methods even the most obstinate creature can be trained. Written in an engaging style, the book takes us through all the stages of training from the very basics to addressing even the most difficult problems. The book is extremely well illustrated and laid out, providing an excellent source of reference and is essential reading for those who want a more acceptable companion. An essential read!

This book is a must for every dog owner especially owners of the "Difficult Breeds" well this is the book for you - I have 2 rescue Bull Terriers and this book has been the most informational one I have read - Finally a book that helps you deal with a very stubborn dog. Author Jane Killion, has given the Dog Owner a invaluable tool in the training of our dogs. And what can i say i'm a little partical - never saw a book with so many pics of Bull Terriers - never mind Bull Terriers behaving - Gives me Hope for my 2 Clowns.
