Cristine Dahl, is in my extended family (cousin’s cousin). Its great to talk to her and i enjoy her book. I will soon be getting a puppy and will be using this book for training my new puppy. I have also taught my older dog to learn finally how to behave on a leash and drop a ball. Thanks Cristine.

This book is a must have for every dog owner; those who are just starting out and for those who think they might know-it-all. Seriously, who doesn’t want to own a well mannered dog: one that is a joy to take out in public and who has learned how to act politely when visitors drop by unannounced. I know I do!
Cristine Dahl has provided the dog loving community with a book that can teach even the most novice dog owner how to have a well trained dog, while also learning a little of the history behind it. She also guides the dog owner on how to deal with some of the more advanced problem behaviors. Dahl has a solid grounding in animal learning theory, therefore her methods are humane. She also speaks in a language that is both intelligent and easily understandable to the layperson, and her love for dogs is obvious.

The first part of this book gives a fascinating description of the history of dog training and a context to the current field that many of us dog owners try to navigate. This section is easy to read and entertaining! The second part of the book serves as an excellent reference manual for the varied challenges of each individual dog. We all know that our dogs are unique and of course nearly perfect in every way, except maybe those few little quirks! This book provides a detailed table of contents so that you can quickly get to the solution for each of those little quirks! The methods described are simple and based on principles of humane behavior training. And the best part is that they work!
