    Lots of useful information, with the usual qualification ... if the dog hasn't read the same book, some of the advice won't work ...

    Very interesting views of how a dog thinks, and it’s behaviour. Found it a good read.

  • Excellent book

    I only wish I would have purchased this book when my collie was a puppy instead of 20 months old. She is responding to retraining very well. Thanks for everything.

  • In 1 hour I understood the methods and had a greater understanding.

    Excellent Training book for experienced and new dog owners. Very well written with a complete understanding of the needs of Border Collies (and their owners)Simple but informative. Written by a lady with a wealth of experience with Border Collies. Would fully recommended this book to all dog lovers and it should become the 'Bible' for Border Collie training. Gives a greater understanding of this unique breed. First class and informative. Brian Petrie......
