 A Must For Your Dog Book Library October 26, 2007

Although Leslie's CU class was born of the need of agility instructors to have dogs in their classes that could cope with the excitement level of that sport and stay within their threshold so they could learn, this book os an absolute must for anyone involved with dogs. It is a reactive dog manual, a puppy primer, a shelter dog guide. It is a book that should be basic library material for all dog clubs, and anyone who is involved with dogs, whether it be dog sports participants, pet people or any other dog people. Leslie gives you basic exercises which would help settle in any dog. She has taken time from her life to write this book, present seminars, help people and moderate and answer questions on the Yahoo! group of her creation. Thank you Leslie from me and my dogs, Riley and Tater. I will see you in Elburn in May of 2008!!!

The best training book I've ever read. It's written for handlers with reactive or excitable dogs and for agility professionals as well. McDevitt shows how handlers can help their dogs relax and focus so that it's possible to learn and so that teamwork is possible and fun for the dogs and for their people. Her book is full of love for dogs as the amazing creatures they are. A beautiful spirit, combined with lots of extremely useful and practical ideas.

I've read quite a few training books recently - and this is one of the best. It contains lots of new information that doesn't appear in other training books, and is all based on positive training. Definately no collar corrections or prong collar suggested here!
Highly highly recommended. Particularly if you have a fearful dog.
