Out of the Dark!

Great book by Pat Miller. It is a wonderful perspective of the change in training that has happened in the last 15-20 yrs. And the reason why. Having come from the dark side myself I can appreciate her journey to TPPDT. I have recommended this book to new first time dog owners or owner wannabes. All dogs deserve to have had their owners read this book(among others). Well read by Susan Boyce(and no she is not condescending ). Please read OTHER END OF THE LEASH as well. These two books dovetail well together. You'll be happy you did and so will your canine companions!

Great advice for the everyday dog owner!

Loved this book. It's written in a way where you can train your own dog. Training your dog to be well rounded takes work and committed from the owners everyday. This is a very good break down of how to do that positively.

Great Read!

I loved how she used examples of dogs she has met in her own life. It made it easier to follow. However, as an audio book, it can get rather repetitive to hear each training suggestion in a row with no breaks in the book.

Very insightful book

Overall a very insightful book with regards to dog training. What I liked most about this book was that it is build upon the current science of dog training, utilizing the principles of neuroplasticity. The book doesn't directly advertise this, and that I don't understand. The author clearly has some research in this field, but mostly just chalks it up to, "This is what I find works best." Another major positive to this book is that it provides step-by-step instructions on how to do teach a variety of behaviors, correct poor behaviors, and what do to when conventional training isn't working. On top of that, she shows you how to do all of this in a way that is never mean to the dog. It is not an obligation to make the dog fear you to teach her.
There are some minor problems in the book. Most notable to me is how the author likes to rename the dog in her example to a name very similar to the trick that she's trying to teach. For example, "When you want Jumper to jump do this." The author probably thinks it sounds cute but it's really just confusing.
