Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-22 00:00:00 Richard Kemp Dogs are not pack animals I was disappointed to see the vocabulary of 'top dog' and 'pack leader' still being used. Dogs are NOT pack animals. There is no alpha. Dominance and submission are fluid concepts, and during play the roles reverse back and forth forth. Let's stop using this language!!!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-19 00:00:00 Brian Wallos Hugely disappointed with this book. As advanced as it was for the time period it was written, it's got a lot of outdated advice now. Whilst the techniques discussed will help a reactive dog, they're a very complicated way of going about it and are generally incredibly difficult for an average pet dog person to carry out. The ideas are interesting and differ to what is traditionally done with dogs who struggle with reactivity but as a professional dog trainer I think I would struggle to execute them and therefore would expect my clients to struggle. I wouldn't buy this book expecting it to fix your problems, save your money and work with a decent trainer in progress.
